We have the following HPC resources:

Linux:

1. A cluster consisting of over 300 cores (mainly DELL), and  over1 TB RAM, containing 5 machines with 12 cores and 128 GB RAM each

2. Dedicated fileservers:

   1. 15 TB fileserver (DELL PE2950+MD3000)

   2. 15 TB fileserver (DELL PE2950+MD1000)

   3. 30 TB fileserver (DELL PowerEdge R710+MD1000)

3. A dedicated tape backup library (DELL  ML6020, 128 slot tape library with 4 LTO4 tape drives)

4. Desktop computers each with 2-4 CPUs, 4-8 GB RAM (mainly DELL)

5. High-end graphics workstations (8 cores, 32 GB RAM, DELL)

Windows:

1. Desktop computers: 2-4 CPU, 4-8GB RAM (DELL)

2. Two terminal server workstations, 8 cores, 16 GB RAM (DELL)

Software:

1. We use many freely available, in-house, as well as commercial software such as Brainworks, Brainsuite, Freesurfer, VTK, ITK, Mayavi, Paraview, AMIRA, MRICron, AFNI among others for our computation and visualization needs. 

2. Several student written C++/MATLAB utilities for various processing tasks are available in-house.
