Stanford NNIN Computing Facility (SNCF)

Upcoming Event at SNCF: NNIN Computing Workshop

Bridging the gap between theory and experiment: which theoretical approaches are best suited to solve real problems in nanotechnology and biology?, February 23-26, 2010

Cluster

Hardware description

SNCF hosts a PC cluster with 64 nodes, each with two quad core processors, for a totoal of 512 CPUs. All the nodes are connected with Gigabit network. 24 of the nodes are connected with high speed InfiniBand interconnects. The IB node has 2gb of memory per core, for a totoal of 16 gb of memory per node, and the other node has 1 gb of memory per core, for a total of 8 gb of memory per node.


Software

A wide range of simulation tools are installed for atomistic simulations. More software packages aimed at bridging the time and length scales are continuously added.


Research expertise

We provide a wide range of expertise in renewable energy, nanoelectronics, and high performance computing.
