A more official blog..

I created a more official blog: http://for.unipi.it/angelo_sajeva/ I posted there only my cv sofar. I still have to figure it out whatelse to post there.. I don't know if I will eventually move all this blog there.. I have to think about it.. it will be sad because I love the name if this blog :! (and furthermore I feel somehow more speech freedom here than in the "official" one..)

ENI07 and PLX ACCESS

Finally! I have the access to both eni07 and plx (in figure) super-computers. On friday I had a day-long phone call to arrange all the setup to become operative: access got, sources compiled, executables run (with testfiles). We still need QC and other stuff.. i.e. compile and test a part of the code that permits to transform standard data in the right input for the code.

Anyway, I work on it only partially, first of all I have to read (and understand) the paper:

Efficient nonlinear Bayesian survey design using DN optimization,

Darrell Coles and Andrew Curtis

Not an easy lecture.. :/

Getting a Supercomputer

Domani ho un contatto con ENI via Skype per avere un account, per me e un altro dottorando, che ci permetta l'accesso da Pisa al Supercomputer del CINECA a Bologna. Eccolo nella lista:

87

eni Italy

HP ProLiant SL390s G7 Xeon 6C X5650, Infiniband / 2011 HP

15360

131.20

163.43

E' l'87 computer più potente del mondo (^-^) nella lista aggiornata al novembre 2011.

Tutto si sta muovendo in fretta!

A skype call is scheduled for tomorrow with ENI, to get the access credentials for the CINECA Supercomputer. It is owned by ENI and hosted at CINECA (BO). It is currently rank 87 (updated at nov 2011) in the top500 list of the most powerful worldwide supercomputer.

I'm looking forward to get the access!
