The Computer laboratory is
equipped with an expandable computer cluster
currently consisting of ten Dell Optiplex
Pentium 4 (2 of GX260 at 2.8Gh, 4 of Dell GX270
at 3.2GHz and 4 Dell GX280 at 3.4GHz) which are
connected by D-Link DGS-1016D 16-Port
10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch are
operating under Linux for performing computer
simulations. Four of them have Windows as a
second operating system for data analysis. The
laboratory has floating license licenses for
Macromodel 8.5 with Minta and Maestro 6.5 from
Schrödinger which are allow to reform atomistic
Molecular Dynamic simulations, conformational
search and free energy minimization for not so
big (bio)polymer systems. The laboratory
contains multiple outlets of the campus-wide
high-speed fiber optics network (CWRUnet) that
provides access to library catalogs, journal
databases and enables connections with
off-campus supercomputers (such as Ohio
Supercomputer). |
