NCAR Graphics is a Fortran and C based software package for scientific visualization. NCL (The NCAR Command Language), is a free interpreted language designed specifically for scientific data processing and visualization. It is a product of the Computational & Information Systems Laboratory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
Dedicated compute services at OSC (also refered to as Condo model) involves users purchasing one or more compute nodes for the shared cluster while OSC provides the infrastructure, as well as maintenance and services. Prof. Gaitonde's Condo on Pitzer cluster is owned by Prof. Datta Gaitonde from Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of Ohio State University.
Detailed system specifications:
48 standard dense compute nodes
Q-Chem is a general purpose ab initio electronic structure program. Its latest version emphasizes Self-Consistent Field, especially Density Functional Theory, post Hartree-Fock, and innovative algorithms for fast performance and reduced scaling calculations. Geometry optimizations, vibrational frequencies, thermodynamic properties, and solution modeling are available.
Boost is a set of C++ libraries that provide helpful data structures and numerous support functions in a wide range of aspects of programming, such as, image processing, gpu programming, concurrent programming, along with many algorithms. Boost is portable and performs well on a wide variety of platforms.
This document shows you how to set soft limits using the ulimit command.
The ulimit command sets or reports user process resource limits. The default limits are defined and applied when a new user is added to the system. Limits are categorized as either soft or hard. With the ulimit command, you can change your soft limits for the current shell environment, up to the maximum set by the hard limits. You must have root user authority to change resource hard limits.
The General Atomic and Molecular Electronic Structure System (GAMESS) is a flexible ab initio electronic structure program. Its latest version can perform general valence bond, multiconfiguration self-consistent field, Möller-Plesset, coupled-cluster, and configuration interaction calculations. Geometry optimizations, vibrational frequencies, thermodynamic properties, and solution modeling are available. It performs well on open shell and excited state systems and can model relativistic effects.
SIESTA is both a method and its computer program implementation, to perform efficient electronic structure calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of molecules and solids. More information can be found from here.
