ITC has three Linux-based commodity clusters: Cedar, Dogwood, and Elder. These clusters are managed by the UVa Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering. Each cluster has its own homepage:

Cedar

Cedar is a general-purpose cluster consisting of 125 nodes, with two AMD Opteron CPUs and 2GB of RAM per node. The interconnect is GigE.

Dogwood

Dogwood is a general-purpose cluster consisting of 200 nodes, with two Intel EMT CPUs and 3GB of RAM per node. The interconnect is GigE.

Elder

Elder is a large-memory cluster consisting of 12 nodes, each containing one 3-GHz Intel dual-core Xeon cpu with 32GB of RAM per node. The interconnect is GigE.

Access to the clusters is available to anyone with a research computing-enabled account.

All ITC Linux clusters are queue-controlled via the PBS Pro queueing system. New users should read the Getting Started Guide for information about utilizing the clusters via the queueing system. New users should also consider working through the hands-on tutorial.

Advanced users can find more details about the PBS system in the PBS User's Guide.

If you are thinking of purchasing a Linux cluster, you may wish to consider purchasing nodes on an ITC Linux cluster instead. ITC has a program that enables researchers to buy nodes in a Linux cluster that ITC houses and maintains for a three-year period. Find out more about the program from our Linux Cluster Node Purchase page.
