This is the former PCN Linux Cluster, "amdahl". Please use the 'Hansen' RCAC cluster for your computation needs. If you need an account, contact PCN for access. Named after Gene Amdahl, the creator of Amdahl's Law, which governs the speedup of using parallel processors on a problem, versus using only one serial processor. More information on Amdahl's law can be found here. Check the Amdahl cluster status with the Ganglia cluster toolkit. Check the contents of the Amdahl PBS Queue.
