| We have a large number of linux systems available. Some are available for general use, while some are for the use of specific research groups. | We have a large number of linux systems available. Some are available for general use, while some are for the use of specific research groups. |

| You can find a list of available linux systems on [[https://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/network/depthosts.html?show=linux|this page]], along with their "cluster" (which is usually the research group or purpose they belong) to and the amount of data disk storage. | * ''spartha.spa.umn.edu'' (also known as ''ssh.physics.umn.edu'') is intended for general-purpose, lightweight, interactive computing for the entire department. Examples include reading email, or as an ssh destination/proxy. //Cpu-intensive jobs should not be run on this system// - we suggest using [[:computing:department:unix:jobs:condor|condor batch system]] to submit your jobs elsewhere. If any jobs on this interactive login node are found to be using high levels of CPU, memory, or other system resources, we reserve the right to cancel them immediately and without notice. |

| * ''spartha.spa.umn.edu'' (also known as ''physics.umn.edu'') is intended for general-purpose interactive computing for the entire department, and for short jobs. We do not encourage running of long cpu-intensive jobs on this system, but it may be used for shorter ones (for long ones, we suggest using [[:computing:department:unix:jobs:condor|condor batch system]]). | |
| * ''jura.spa.umn.edu'' is a Tru64 Alphaserver for general departmental use. | |
| * Various research groups (HEP, Nuclear Theory, Cosmology, etc) have their own systems and should use them accordingly. We don't restrict access to these machines by other users; please don't abuse this. If you have a need which might be met by running jobs on another groups' systems, you should arrange permission with them before doing so. | * Various research groups (HEP, Nuclear Theory, Cosmology, etc) have their own systems and should use them accordingly.

| * Students paying the IT technology fee (that is, physics majors and pre-qualifier graduate students) have the use of systems in the [[:computing:department:labs|Physics Computer Lab]]. | |

| | If your research group has no dedicated computational resources, there is a general-purpose pool called ''phys'' which may be used by anybody. |
