Computing Resources
PCs and Sun Workstations are available in this laboratory and in other university computer laboratories.Beowulf Linux Cluster "Menger" is a computer cluster consisting of one master node and eight slave nodes. Each node is equipped with dual 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 Xeon processors and 2GB RDRAM. All nodes are connected to each other via a fast ethernet switch.
