The LRSM Computing Facility is part of the Walnut High Performance Computing cluster (walnut.pics.upenn.edu) and is a shared facility for theory, simulation, and data analysis for projects supported by the MRSEC. The cluster consists of 62 nodes, each with four Intel E5-4620 8-core processors (at 2.2 or 2.6GHz) and 64GB RAM. The nodes are connected by a low-latency Infiniband network to allow for efficient parallelization. The MRSEC owns approximately 30% of the Walnut Cluster, giving MRSEC users priority access to 568 compute cores, and limited access to the entire cluster during periods of reduced utilization.
