There are many instances where it is necessary to run the same serial program many times with slightly different input. Parametric runs such as these either end up running in a sequential fashion in a single batch job, or a batch job is submitted for each parameter that is varied (or somewhere in between.) One alternative to this is to allocate a number of nodes/processors to running a large number of serial processes for some period of time.

Fortran, C and C++ compilers produced by the GNU Project.
Availability and Restrictions
Versions
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) are available on all our clusters. These are the versions currently available:
Pitzer
NCAR Graphics is a Fortran and C based software package for scientific visualization. NCL (The NCAR Command Language), is a free interpreted language designed specifically for scientific data processing and visualization.
Cardinal
The CCAPP condo is available on the Cardinal cluster beginning Monday, November 18, 2024. Condo on the Pitzer cluster is terminated on December 30, 2024.
Pitzer
Dedicated compute services at OSC (also refered to as Condo model) involves users purchasing one or more compute nodes for the shared cluster while OSC provides the infrastructure, as well as maintenance and services. Prof. Gaitonde's Condo on Pitzer cluster is owned by Prof. Datta Gaitonde from Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of Ohio State University.
Hardware
Detailed system specifications:
In October, 2004, OSC engineers installed three SGI Altix 350s. The Altix 350s featured 16-processors each for SMP and large-memory applications configured. They included 32GB of memory, 161.4 Gigahertz Intel Itanium2 processors, 4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 2-Gigabit FibreChannel interfaces, and approximately 250 GB of temporary disk.
