So, I got a new job, working at Atmospheric Sciences. A professor needs an undergraduate assistant to help him get a model running on the NCSA machines. As my current job can’t give me all the hours I’d like, I accepted his offer.

So, here’s a basic run down of the machines I get access to:
Dell PowerEdge Linux Cluster (Abe) [the Big New One at UIUC, made with the new 5150 Xeons]
Xeon Linux Supercluster (Tungsten) [UIUC's Last Big Bad-Ass Cluster]
IBM Blue Gene - Yes, a Blue Gene

There’s a bunch more, but that’s all the really interesting ones on the list. Only downside is I’m most likely going to have to learn some Fortran. Oh wells.
