The Lariat Computational Server is an SGI Altix supercomputer. It is meant
to provide more computational power than a standard server and to
serve as a development machine for parallel codes.
Several parallel environments are available:
-
Star-P is available on the Server. This allows MATLAB to distribute
work to the 8 processors.
-
OpenMP was used to parallelize some of the
routines in the installed Intel Math Kernel Library.
Python and Intel Fortran are able to link against this library
to perform OpenMP parallel processing.
-
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) environment
is also available. This requires explicit decomposition of
the problem into separate tasks.
-
An MPI-enabled Python is available on the Server.
-
An MPI-enabled NEURON is installed on the Server.
