News: the CCF hardware has been upgraded! (details below.)

The Computational Chemistry Facility (CCF) provides high-performance computing resources including the state-of-the-art computer visualization along with sophisticated applications for the users of the Department including outside users. Our principal computational resource is a newly-installed compute cluster built by Appro, Inc.. This system was funded under the National Science Foundation CRIF program (grant #CHE-0443501) and consists of:

  • 16 compute nodes, each with two dual-core Opteron 280 processors, 8 GB RAM, and four 36 GB 10K hard drives in a RAID-0 (striped) array.
  • One head node, with two Opteron 250 processors, 4 Gb RAM, and 1.6 TB disk space.
  • Infiniband high-speed networking from SilverStorm Technologies.
  • Three Athlon64 workstations for visualization and interactive work.

The following links provide more information about the facility and its use:
