MVAPICH
MVAPICH is a standard library for performing parallel processing using a distributed-memory model.

Change is Coming!
Later this fall, OSC will be introducing a major change to the current process clients use to get help. We will be rolling out a new web-based system for clients to manage and review open cases with the service desk. More information will be forthcoming over the next few months, so keep an eye out for messages on various OSC communication channels, as well as at https://www.osc.edu/service_portal_deployment .
System Downtime August 6 2024
A downtime for OSC HPC systems is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, August 6 2024. The downtime will affect the Pitzer, Owens and Ascend Clusters, web portals, and HPC file servers. There will be a short outage of the state-wide licenses; MyOSC (the client portal) will be available during the downtime. In preparation for the downtime, the batch scheduler will not start jobs that cannot be completed before 7 a.m., August 6. Jobs that are not started on clusters will be held until after the downtime and then started once the system is returned to production status.
AutoDock
AutoDock is a a suite of automated docking tools. It is designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure. AutoDock has applications in X-ray crystallography, structure-based drug design, lead optimization, etc.
Nodejs
Nodejs is used to create server-side web applications, and it is perfect for data-intensive applications since it uses an asynchronous, event-driven model
HOWTO: Run Python in Parallel
We can improve performace of python calculation by running python in parallel. In this turtorial we will be making use of the multithreading library to run python code in parallel.
HOWTO: Use GPU in Python
If you plan on using GPUs in tensorflow or pytorch see HOWTO: Use GPU with Tensorflow and PyTorch
This is an exmaple to utilize a GPU to improve performace in our python computations. We will make use of the Numba python library. Numba provides numerious tools to improve perfromace of your python code including GPU support.
Tinker
Tinker is a molecular modeling package. Tinker provides a general set of tools for molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics.
MRIcroGL
MRIcroGL is medical image viewer that allows you to load overlays (e.g. statistical maps), draw regions of interest (e.g. create lesion maps).
Availability and Restrictions
Versions
MRIcroGL is available on Pitzer cluster. These are the versions currently available:
