Information and Computing Services Staff
The Division of Quantitative Sciences Information and Computing Services (ICS) group maintains the computing and information processing environment for division faculty and staff and collaborating researchers throughout the institution. ICS also provides system integration services for research projects. ICS manages a heterogeneous operating environment spanning three distinct classes of operating systems: Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac OS. ICS supports Oracle and SQL databases for data management, as well as open source and Microsoft.NET software development environments. Additionally, ICS maintains over 30 nonstandard server/client and desktop applications.
Currently, ICS manages 18 terabytes of storage space for research data and back-up. ICS operates a 48-processor Cray XD1 high performance computing cluster and a batch Condor pool of over 120 Windows workstations for computationally intensive simulations and applications. ICS also provides three 4-processor Sun SMP systems and 10 dual-core Intel processor servers for general purpose computing.
