COMSOL - Particle Tracing Module:
The Comsol folks have been letting us use the Particle Tracing Module for free but now we need to decide whether it is worth paying for. If anyone is currently using or plans to continue using the Particle Tracing Module please send email to
dunwell@jila.colorado.edu
with a subject line of
“Particle Tracing Module”
I will need to know about this no later than January 23rd. (aad)
JILIAC Cluster - General Availability and Informational Seminar:
Now that construction-related power and cooling disruptions to the JILA server room should be finished, we're pleased to announce the availability of the new "jiliac" cluster to any JILA researcher. We'll be setting up new user accounts starting January 23. To request an account, please fill out the form at
http://jiliac.colorado.edu/JiliacApp.pdf
jiliac consists of 18 nodes, each with 8 Intel Xeon processor cores. Some nodes have a large amount of memory for data-intensive jobs, and one contains two nVidia GPU cards.
We extremely strongly recommend that all potential jiliac users (including the existing beta testers) attend an informational seminar which will cover node configuration, disk storage, the queue setup, queuing policies, available software, and other general usage guidelines. This seminar is scheduled for Thursday January 19 at 2:30 pm in 10B. (par)

Learn how you can leverage the computing power of NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs to accelerate your MATLAB applications with minimal programming effort.
MATLAB GPU functionality is well suited for a variety of application areas such as data analysis, image and signal processing applications including communications systems, computational finance, seismic data processing etc. The functionality, available through Parallel Computing Toolbox, enables you to perform computations on powerful GPUs using familiar MATLAB language and from within the MATLAB environment without complicated programming.
In this webinar learn how to:
- Use GPU enabled MATLAB functions
- Use CUDA kernels directly from MATLAB
- Distribute MATLAB GPU applications as standalone executables and software components
