Overview
SDSU Research Cyberinfastructure maintains and provides access to several Linux and Windows standalone systems. These systems refer to computing environments that are separate from the clusters, and are frequently used for tasks such as visualization and for software workflows that are not optimized for, or compatible with cluster computing. In addition to physical servers, SDSU Research Cyberinfrastructure also provides access to virtual machines for specialized projects and use cases.
Physical Servers
SDSU RCi currently offers 2 general-use Windows servers and 2 general-use Linux servers. These systems are high core-count and RAM systems ready for large-scale research projects. Depending on research needs, systems with GPU cards are available. These systems have ArcGIS, Mathematica, ANSYS, among other applications. There are nodes available for visualization purposes.
Virtual Servers
SDSU RCi provides access to virtual servers, often for custom solutions or lab groups. Please contact us if you have a research case that is not fulfilled by the cluster or our general use standalone systems.
