→Hardware Configuration
It is best to think of every core as a separate <b><i>virtual machine</i></b> or processing <b><i>slot</i></b> capable of running one process. The cores remain isolated because the computer cannot distribute a simple, stand-alone process between its cores without special instructions for doing so within the code itself. We will therefore refer interchangeably to cores, slots or virtual machines (of which there are 8 x 31 + 12 x 7 + 16 x 8) instead of computers or processors as independent computing units.<br>

The Statistics Cluster is intergrated into existing computing infrastructure in the Nuclear Physics lab at the Physics Department. The lab provides its computing resources as well as networking, file server, security and other services. Below is a rough list of computing resources available for use (as of 2010):
