Xeon HP  workstations
xeon1 are  dual 1.7GhZ Intel xeon processor workstations, equipped withxeon2
512 MB ram memory at 400MhZ bus speed and a 30 GB SCSI hard disk each.

Compilers: - gnu family compilers
                    - the PGI family compilers: pgf77, pgf90, pghpf on Xeon1;
                      pgf77, pgf90, pghpf, pgcc, pgCC on Xeon2 (on line manuals );
                    - the Intel f77/f90 and C/C++ compilers: ifc, icc (version 5.0) ( ifc & icc manuals).

Dubuggers/Profilers: - GNU gdb ; GNU gprof   (use of gprof with Intel compilers).

Libraries:   - the www.lam-mpi.org LAM/MPI 6.5.6 parallel libraries;
                    - the NAG numerical libraries (library search - pgf77/90 user's note - g77 user's note );
                       (use the -lnag switch to compile with the g77 compiler - mark20 , and
                        use the -lnag19 switch to compile with the PGI version - mark19 )
                    - the LAPACK numerical libraries (user's guide );
                    - the CERN computing libraries (on-line manual ).

Other
:  - Mathematica 4.1;
             - xmgrace; gnuplot ;
             - VNC - virtual network computing.


Linux Cluster
is made up by 16 identical nodes,
one of which also serves as a user front-end.farm2
