A number of DLCI groups operate dedicated computational resources for their own communities. Over time the number of DLCI-focused resources has been falling with growing participation in campus wide shared resources with PI priority capabilities. However, there are still some sizable DLCI resources available to some groups.
TIG Shared Computing
TIG shared computing, operated by the CSAIL infrastructure group, consists of an Openstack cluster and a Slurm cluster for general use by members of CSAIL. The Openstack environment supports full virtual machines. The Slurm cluster supports Singularity as a container engine for Docker containers. Additional compute and storage resources can be purchased by PIs to support group specific needs.
Further information and support is available at help@csail.mit.edu.
LNS Computing
The Laboratory for Nuclear Science in Physics operates computing resources that are available to researchers within LNS.
Further information and support is available from pra@mit.edu.
Kavli Computing
The MIT Kavli Institute operates a cluster for astrophysics research. The cluster uses the Slurm resource scheduler and is available for use by Kavli researchers.
Koch Bioinformatics
Koch operates a bioinformatics facility which specializes in processing needs of computational biologists.
subMIT
Open to all members of the Physics Department, subMIT provides specialized physics computing support along with access to a login pool connected to a local SLURM cluster and HTCondor access to large-scale external resources, including the Open Science Grid, CMS Tier 2/3, and the Lattice QCD cluster. In addition to traditional CPU nodes, the internal SLURM cluster includes specialized hardware such as GPUs, high-density (hundreds of cores per node), high-memory CPU nodes, fast NVMe scratch space, and a 100 Gbit/s network.
