As of July 2024, the CNF Cluster has been taken offline for upgrades.


Use of the codes installed on the CNF cluster is on a self-support basis.

For training on navigating UNIX/LINUX and on using the batch system for the cluster, please contact CNF Computing staff.

Eleven of the twelve nodes in this class are online (one hardware failure). Each node has 32GB of memory and 2 Intel Xeon E5-2620 processors. Each individual processor has 6 cores and 2 threads per core. This equals 24 virtual CPUs per node.

rb1u Compute Nodes:

None Six of these nodes are yet available. We are working to provision them the rest once a new network switch is installed. Each node has 24GB of memory and 2 Intel Xeon DP E56020 processors. Each individual processor has 4 cores and 2 threads per core. This equals 16 virtual CPUs per node.

ElmerGNU7/OpenMPIhttps://www.csc.fi/web/elmer/elmer

Elmer is an open source multiphysical simulation software mainly developed by CSC - IT Center for Science (CSC). Elmer development was started 1995 in collaboration with Finnish Universities, research institutes and industry. After it's open source publication in 2005, the use and development of Elmer has become international.

Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer and acoustics, for example. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).
