In 2009, ITC purchased Cerberus, a 256-core cluster. That translates to 32 nodes. Each node has 32 GB ram, giving an aggregate of 1TB. In addition, ITC has about 36TB of disk space that ITC members have exclusive access to.

Cerberus is an addition to the FAS Odyssey cluster. The FAS cluster has in excess of 7000 cores. It has 1200TB of shared storage. Additionally, this cluster has access to licenses for Matlab, Mathematica, and IDL that can be used interactively on these machines. Users can get a VNC-like full desktop on the cluster. In addition, FAS Research Computing can host research websites and wiki sites. Some licensed software for linux, like MATLAB and Mathematica, are also distributed through the Research Computing website.

All users have access to FAS research computing staff members for help on software installation, debugging, and profiling questions. Please contact them at rchelp@fas.harvard.edu. For more information, please look at the FAS Research Computing website at http://rc.fas.harvard.edu.
