Apply account on Bladerunner
March 13, 2007
Today I applied an account on one of super computers in lab called Bladerunner. This was my purpose to come here for doing a scalable testing on power parallel system. If I couldn’t get the account during I was here, it would waste my time to come. By the mean time, I was doing some stuff on PTP such as JUnit testing and profiling. After 5:00pm, I left there and went back to hotel for browsing internet a while.
I planned to have dinner at Subway this time, but it was closed already when I arrived there. Then I went to a Chinese restaurant called China Moon. I had some food in this restaurant before (two years ago). This time I ordered “Pud Thai Rice Noodle” to take away. By the way, we called “take away” in Australia, but it called “to go” here.

Roadrunner is currently for system users only.

I think only the roadrunner is special now. It opens to systems only. I will have another supercomputer’s account later. It is called Coyote. Coyote is a large HPC Linux Cluster in the collaborative (Turquoise) network available to Institutional Computing users.
