Description

The University runs a Sun Microsystems SunFire 6900 computer in support of statistical software, molecular modelling and sequence analysis packages, as well as a variety of higher-level database-driven products.

This server is driven by 24 Sparc III processors operating at 900 Mhz and has been partitioned into multiple, independent computing domains, each dedicated to particular computing tasks. Resources including processor and storage can be moved between domains without affecting production operation. The server is complemented by a RAID configured Storage Area Network System (SANS) capable of holding 8 Terabytes of data.

The Scientific Server Address

This server is reached by either of the following addresses:

emboss.umdnj.edu
siriusc.umdnj.edu

Requests for Account

Most students and researchers will want only web-based access to the EMBOSS suite. Access to the web-based EMBOSS suite (known as EMBOSS-Explorer) is freely-available at http://emboss.umdnj.edu.

Some students and investigators may want an interactive "shell" account to access applications on the scientific server including

• EMBOSS
• those molecular modeling applications housed on the University's Scientific Server and listed on our comprehensive applications list
• and statistical software

If you think these applications would be of use to you, please see the appropriate AST page.

For additional assistance, contact one of the following individuals:

• Molecular Modeling and Structural Bioinformatics
  • John Kerrigan (kerrigje@umdnj.edu)
• Sequence Analysis
  • Ryan Golhar (golharam@umdnj.edu)
  • Bruce Byrne (byrne@umdnj.edu)
