In a collaborative effort between OIT and ICS, 80 compute nodes donated by Broadcom Corporation were configured as a general purpose computing cluster for UCI faculty, researchers, and graduate students. The collective cluster is named BDUC (Broadcom Distributed Unified Cluster). By default, BDUC is open to all UCI faculty, graduate students, and post-graduate researchers. Each new user must send an e-mail request to bduc-request@uci.edu to activate his/her UCInetID for use on the cluster.
This Beowulf cluster is available to all researchers at UCI. Detailed information about the service including status, software and how to get an account is available.
