Numerical Calculations (VSC, nona)
Computing Nodes for the Execution of Numerically Intensive Computation
For the execution of numerically intensive applications of individual institutions or projects, BOKU-IT runs several computing nodes (hostname nona01.boku.ac.at - nona04.boku.ac.at).
Within the framework of this special project, users may obtain information on software, calculation approval and access directly at the BOKU-IT. Please send your request to BOKU-IT Hotline: boku-it(at)boku.ac.at
Mailing List
For current information as well as for the coordination of the users among themselves with regard to the non-simultaneous start of jobs, which should fully utilize the resources, a mailing list "hpc@list.boku.ac.at" was established.
When an account is activated, it is automatically added to this mailing list.
All users* of these special computers are asked to communicate with the other users* before starting "large" jobs. All mailing list members have permission to send messages to this mailing list at any time.
All BOKU employees can subscribe and unsubscribe to this list as needed (opt-in and opt-out).
