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:

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.
