Apple XServe G5 Cluster
The primary computational facility for our models and analyses is an 11-node (2 processors per node) Apple XServe G5 high performance computing cluster. The cluster has a RAID array with a storage capacity of 3.7 TB.

Jaguar, Cray XT3/XT4 at NCCS/ORNL
Due to the computationally exhaustive nature of distributed modeling, inherant in WRF, tRIBS, CHILD and ED-BRAMS, several research projects utilize the massively parallel super-computing resources of the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Bras group has ported code to (WRF-tRIBS and ED2-BRAMS) and utilized the Cray XT3/XT4 Jaguar for various high-performance endevours, including running very large/dense coupled model domains. In its transition to quad core CPUs and a Compute Node Linux OS, Jaguar is scheduled to become the first peta-scale super-computer in the world.
