Overview
We had a power outage in the data center 7/24. As of
7/25, we think everything has returned to normal - please resume work
and report bugs asap. Sorry for the inconvenience. Email both Kathy &
Yinka if you have problems in the next few days:
durkin@berkeley.edu and yinkaojo@berkeley.edu
Kathy may be out of data signal range for some part of Sat-Tues.
Workstations in 175 Tan are available.
During the outage in the data center, we upgraded the file server for dino and the workstations. We are not expecting any problems but as time passes, it will become
difficult to sync the old and new file servers. All files are now
created/edited/deleted on the new file server and these will diverge quickly
with the old file server. So if you see problems, email us asap.
The Molecular Graphics and
Computation Facility is
located in 175 Tan
Hall. It is available to the College of Chemistry and campus
community with operations supported by modest
access and use fees.
Please contact the Facility Director, Dr. Kathleen Durkin, for more
information. She is usually in the Facility, 175 Tan Hall, or in her office,
177 Tan Hall. Email is preferred:
The phone in 177 is 2-6719 and the phone in 175 is 3-0616.
Technical consulting is available on
project feasibility, equipment and software use. The Facility serves as
a research resource in computational chemistry and scientific
visualization for over 50 research groups in Chemistry and the wider
campus community.
Our mission is to provide high-performance
computer graphics and computing resources for research and educational
uses in chemistry. Founded in 1990, the Facility houses graphics
workstations, color printers, and
assorted other equipment.
In 2003, the facility received a grant from the National Science
Foundation
(CHE-0233882)
which allowed us to add a 96 cpu compute
cluster. In 2009, a renewal
(CHE-0840505)
allowed us to add a 576
processor cluster. Please reference these grants in publications
resulting from use
of the Facility.
Policy and Safety notes:
Facility users must comply with the Campus
Computer Use Policy and abide by
Safety policies and practices in the College.
Our workstations have been designed for user ergonomics.
Ergonomics workshops are available to help improve your own work environment.
Undergraduate Instructional Facility:
This is the other half of 175 Tan Hall. It is managed for the College of Chemistry by ETS, the same group that
manages most other undergraduate
computer labs on campus.
Faculty can request access for their classes.
New first year GSIs in the College of Chemistry can also obtain access.
