HPC Resources

The following is a partial list of high performance computing resources that people may find useful. I am working to expand this material whenever time allows and hope it will grow to serve as a quality reference source for the SHARCNET community.

Note: all source code referred to in examples and exercises are available in ~dbm/pub/ on any sharcnet system.
