kali kali is the 64-processor Beowulf cluster with
a high-performance Myrinet interconnect of the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UMBC.
It was purchased using funds from a SCREMS grant from the
National Science Foundation with equal cost-sharing from UMBC,
with a substantial vendor discount towards the purchase of the hardware.
The principal investigators of the grant are
Jonathan Bell, Florian Potra, Madhu Nayakkankuppam, and
Matthias K. Gobbert.
The machine is used for research projects including the areas of
microelectronics manufacturing, quantum chemistry, computational neurobiology,
and constrained mechanical systems.
The machine is managed jointly by system administrators
from the department and UMBC's Office of Information Technology.
The machine runs the Linux operating system distributed by RedHat. Parallel communications use Myricom's implementation of the Message-Passing Interface (MPI). Both GNU and Intel compilers are available for C/C++ and Fortran including Math libraries. Job scheduling is done using torque and Maui.
