Owens
As of Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, the Owens high performance computing (HPC) cluster has been partially decommissioned. OSC has moved two-thirds of the regular compute nodes and one-half of the GPU nodes (a total of about 60% of the cluster cores) on the Owens cluster offline. The remainder of the Owens nodes will power down on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025.
TIP: Remember to check the menu to the right of the page for related pages with more information about Owens' specifics.
OSC's Owens cluster being installed in 2016 is a Dell-built, Intel® Xeon® processor-based supercomputer.
Pitzer
Linaro MAP is a full scale profiler for HPC programs. We recommend using Linaro MAP after reviewing reports from Linaro Performance Reports. MAP supports pthreads, OpenMP, and MPI software on CPU, GPU, and MIC based architectures.

Linaro Performance Reports is a simple tool used to generate a single-page HTML or plain text report that presents the overall performance characteristics of HPC applications. It supports pthreads, OpenMP, or MPI code on CPU, GPU, and MIC based architectures.
Many software packages require a license. These licenses are usually made available via a license server, which allows software to check out necessary licenses. In this document external refers to a license server that is not hosted inside OSC.
If you have such a software license server set up using a license manager, such as FlexNet, this guide will instruct you on the necessary steps to connect to and use the licenses at OSC.
Users who wish to host their software licenses inside OSC should consult OSC Help.
Cardinal
The Schrodinger molecular modeling software suite includes a number of popular programs focused on drug design and materials science but of general applicability, for example Glide, Jaguar, and MacroModel. Maestro is the graphical user interface for the suite. It allows the user to construct and graphically manipulate both simple and complex chemical structures, to apply molecular mechanics and dynamics techniques to evaluate the energies and geometries of

ANSYS Mechanical is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool that enables you to analyze complex product architectures and solve difficult mechanical problems. You can use ANSYS Mechanical to simulate real world behavior of components and sub-systems, and customize it to test design variations quickly and accurately.
