ARCHIVED: On the TeraGrid, what is Pople?
Note: After ten years of service to the national science and engineering community, the TeraGrid project has ended. It is succeeded by a new National Science Foundation (NSF) program, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE). You should move any data stored on TeraGrid systems to an alternate storage resource. If you have leftover service units on your TeraGrid allocation, or if your research requires further use of high performance computational, visualization, storage, and network resources, consider applying for an allocation on one or more XSEDE digital services.
Note: As part of the transition to the Extreme
Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE),
Pople (PSC) will run its final production job on the TeraGrid August
31, 2011. Users can log into the system until September 16, 2011, to
move files from home directories and temporary file systems to the PSC File
Archiver (golem.psc.edu). Additionally, all Pople
users now have accounts on Blacklight (PSC), which is part
of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE)
project. Check with your principal investigator (PI) to determine if
you should apply for an XSEDE allocation.
On the TeraGrid, Pople is the SGI Altix 4700 shared-memory NUMA system at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC).
