The High-performance
Computer, SUN Enterprise 10000 Server, has recently been upgraded
with the addition of 24 CPUs and 12 GB memory giving a full
swing of 64 CPUs, 26 GB memory and 27 Gflops computation. Normally
the entire machine will be configured as a single domain for
the sole use of CityU researchers. However, as half of it was
sponsored by SUN Microsystems for setting up the Enterprise
Competence Centre (ECC), when there is scheduled ECC activities,
up to 50% of its resources may be reserved by ECC users, and
hence the capacity of the machine for our users will be correspondingly
reduced during those time slots booked. Therefore, you are encouraged
to take ample advantage of the super-computer class machine
and use it for your research.
You are also welcome to recommend any software/applications
that are required for your research to be installed on the High-performance
Computer. For the existing software list, account application
procedures and other relevant information, please refer to the
