Research & Statistical Computing

Amber.tufts.edu is a University-wide high performance computational resource. The server's resources enable faculty and graduate students to scale research problems in order to address more realistic modeling assumptions. A wide array of research is performed using the supercomputer, ranging from genetic sequence analysis to cosmic string simulations. Amber is equipped with four Alpha processors running (DIG) unix and assorted software, 1.5 gigabytes of RAM, 8 Ultrawide SCSI busses, and is connected to the Tufts campus network with regular 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet.
