Supercomputing Center

The College of Science offers a wide selection of computational platforms for research and graduate study. The largest capability machine is an SGI Altix BX3700 shared memory system with 64 processors and 128Gb of memory, connected via high speed to 10Terabytes of disk. Additional resources include an SGI Altix 3300, linux cluster, and several special purpose linux clusters. College of Science faculty regularly utilize national centers for large computational tasks.

University Research Computing Center

As of April, 2008, George Mason University is in the final stage of acquiring a large linux cluster for research computing across the university. The new system should provide a 10-fold increase in capacity and data storage. Watch this space for details of the acquisition. We expect delivery and acceptance to complete during the summer of ‘08.
