Computational physics at SDSU

Drs. Baljon, Bromley, Johnson, and Weber are the computational core.


FAQ

Q. How do i become a computational physicist?
A. Read Dr. Johnsons FAQ


Software

Firstly, see the system specific /etc/motd on Bromley Group systems
then, the Intel Compiler V10.0 has documentation, and and, the Intel Math Kernel Library V9.1 documentation locally on the machine's.


Hardware - Clusters

The CSRC maintains three clusters that physics has access to:

NAME NODES CPU RAM SCRATCH Notes

Hardware - Workstations

Bromley Computational resources are currently running Fedora Core 7. Since they are all desktops, you must run nice-ly. Their naming is based on aussie cricket captains.
