PoP - a Pile of Pentiums
PoP: a Pile-of-Pentiums, a Pile-of-PCs, a Pile-of-Processors, or even
a Beowulf-class supercomputer. PoP is a collection of dual-Pentium II
PCs running Linux (dual-penguins perhaps?) with moderately fast
networking between them. Our aim is to provide a cost-effective
computational resource for the Physics Department at Syracuse University.
For local access only:
We also have, but perhaps don't maintain well, a collection of
links to related resources.
