Software and Hardware..........
The ITC Linux cluster (cedar.itc or lc2.itc.virginia.edu) will be down
for maintenance from 9AM to 12PM (noon) on Tuesday, December 20. At the
start of this period, all jobs running on the cluster will be
terminated.
This downtime will disrupt all user jobs. Users are advised to plan to
have no jobs left running by Monday, December 20th. You may use the
other two Linux cluster (aspen.itc or birch.itc) while cedar.itc is out
of service. If you want to use these other clusters, you should test
your codes on Aspen or Birch prior to the Cedar downtime.
Any jobs running at the time that cedar.itc is taken down will be
killed. Jobs still waiting in the queue when cedar is taken down, will
be deleted and will have to be resubmitted after the system returns.
We will make an announcement when cedar.itc is available again.
This shutdown is necessary to replace the power distribution units on
the "cedar.itc" cluster in order to improve reliability. We apologize
for any inconvenience that this planned downtime may cause you.
If you have any questions or concerns about this downtime, please
contact the ITC Research Computing Support Center at 243-8800 or
Res-Consult@Virginia.edu
ITC is planning the purchase
of another 120 to 140 node Linux cluster in early 2006 to replace the
aging Linux cluster known as "aspen.itc" and compliment the other two
Linux clusters, "birch" and "cedar". As part of this purchase, we are
inviting researchers who are considering their own purchase of a Linux
cluster to contact us.
This is the second year of a program that
enables researchers to purchase nodes in a Linux cluster that ITC houses
and maintains for a three-year period. Some of the benefits to
researchers include free system administration, timely security updates,
24x7 monitoring, and the ability to use more nodes than purchased during
periods of non-peak demand.
We expect that nodes will cost between
$2,000 and $2,500 each. The nodes will be at least 2.0 GHz dual AMD
Opteron CPUs (64-bit) with 2 GB of memory and 1MB L2 cache. (1.8 GHz
Opteron is at least 10% faster than 3.0 GHz Xeon.) We are also
considering Dual Core Opteron and Intel CPUs as well. (Dual Core
provides two execution cores in one physical processor allowing the
platform to do more in less time.) We will try to get the fastest CPUs
and most memory possible while keeping the price per node under $2500.
The purchase will include a three-year warranty on each node and Gigabit
Ethernet interconnect among nodes.
More details of the program can
be found at
If you are considering buying a Linux cluster within the next six
months, please contact Tim Tolson, Manager of ITC Research Computing
Support, at 243-6592 or email TTolson@Virginia.edu to discuss this
exciting opportunity.

ITC and UVa Procurement Services have negotiated a Campus Level Plan
(CLP) with Adobe Systems, Inc. Under this plan, University
departments can buy Adobe software such as Photoshop and Illustrator
at greatly reduced cost. This contract covers both Windows and
Macintosh platforms.
Cost for licenses will vary depending on the quantity ordered. For
orders of five Photoshop licenses, for example, departments can
expect to pay about $116 for the license and $27 for the required
media kit. This cost is a great savings over even the academic price
of $299. Maintenance is NOT included in the license cost but may be
purchased separately.
To buy software under the CLP, departments should get two quotes
from the two vendors listed below. When calling for a quote,
you must provide them the UVa CLP number in order to get the reduced
CLP pricing.
The two vendors from whom to get quotes are:
By getting quotes from BOTH of these vendors you will meet UVA's
competitive procurement guidelines and still get CLP pricing. Per
standard UVa Procurement guidelines, you purchase from whichever
vendor provides the lowest pricing. If the total cost of the software
will be over $5,000, departments should contact Marston Crumpler in
UVa Procurement Services (924-8918), who will use the eVa E-quote
system to get the best price possible.
Departments wishing to use the CLP should contact ITC's Tony Townsend
(Tony@Virginia.edu) for the required CLP number to use when obtaining
quotes.
Note that ITC's Research Computing Support Center (RCSC) already
resells licenses for Adobe Acrobat Professional for both Windows and
Macintosh, and makes it available through their licensing database, at
a cost of $65 per workstation, regardless of whether you want a CD or
not. Departments may continue to buy from the RCSC or may use the CLP
to purchase Acrobat. If you need 10 or more Adobe Acrobat licenses,
it's cost-effective to purchase through the Adobe CLP agreement as
outlined above.
Questions about the Adobe CLP should be directed to Tony Townsend
(Tony@Virginia.edu). Questions about obtaining Adobe Acrobat software
or licensing should directed to the ITC Research Computing Support
Center at 243-8800 or
Res-Consult@Virginia.edu
New Discount Program for Adobe Software at U.Va.
"Makemake" is a Perl script that scans a directory of Fortran 95 files,
examines each for modules used, then constructs a Makefile with the
appropriate dependencies and with the object files linked in the correct
order. It has now been installed into /usr/local/bin on the frontends
of the aspen, birch, and cedar clusters. It should be in each user's
path automatically so may be invoked merely by typing "makemake" at the
prompt.
Its main limitation is an inability to scan directories recursively, so
all the files must be in a single directory.
It can also be used for Fortran 77 codes, although it is most useful for
Fortran 95.
Please contact the ITC Research Computing Support Center if you have
questions regarding the use of this script; email
Res-Consult@Virginia.edu
or phone 243-8800.
Script to Generate Makefiles for Fortran 95 Added to Clusters
A new Web page is now available which provides a collection of Fortran
programming tips and tricks. Currently, the page contains a detailed
explanation of how to obtain random numbers using Fortran 95 intrinsics,
plus an implementation of a state-of-the-art random-number generator for
those with exacting needs; there is also a description of a module that
makes switching between single and double precision a simple matter of
commenting or uncommenting a single line and recompiling the code.

The statistical software package, SAS, is available at U.Va. on the
Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris, and AIX platforms at U.Va. Different
versions with differing capabilities are available on different
platforms. This summary is intended to alleviate some of the
confusion. Research Computing urges software users to make use of the
most recently released stable version of a software package. Frequent
incremental software upgrades are less likely to have unpleasant results
than major upgrade across several versions.
Macintosh
Windows
The latest version of SAS to run on Windows XP HOME Edition is version
8.2. That is to say, versions 9.0, 9.1, and 9.1.3 do NOT run on Windows
XP HOME Edition or on Windows 95, 98,or ME.

Meeting the Needs of the Most Computationally-Challenging
Science and Engineering Applications
The Virginia Visualization Group (VVG) recently met and discussed some of the
planning details for the new visualization space, the "Viz Studio". The
School of Architecture has graciously agreed to host the Visualization Studio
in Jury Room C of Campbell Hall, where it will be used by the A-School in the
afternoons and open to IATH, the VVG, and others in the mornings. The
Architecture school is donating the space and renovation of the room will
start in mid-to-late December, and current plans calls for the Visualization
Studio to be up and running by late spring.
While access and use policies have yet to be exactly determined,
it is expected that any U.Va. faculty member or graduate student
with a faculty sponsor will be able to request use of the space and
receive any necessary training in the use of the room's equipment.
It is not envisioned that the room become a classroom, reservable
on a recurring basis.
A "Media Wall 2000" will provide a multi-screen controller for video
and data use in the room. Control is via a Web browser and there will
be four output screens. Three 67-inch Toshiba Cubes with rear projection
display will be available as will various audio equipment. A Creston
Control System will provide interface control for video projections,
the Cube displays, switchers, VCRs, DVD players, screens, lights, and
other equipment. Additional items include a yet unfunded Macintosh and
PC computer, projector and router.
IATH (The Institute for
Advanced Technology in the Humanities) has provided funding of $250,500 for
hardware and room renovation. IATH is also providing one fulltime employee to
the studio. About $22,000 in equipment remains unfunded; IATH is looking for
other possible funding sources. Please contact IATH directly at 924-4527 or
IATH@Virginia.EDU for further information or to help with the funding
shortfall.

SAS also offers several free online tutorials on several topics.
Getting Started with SAS is designed for two types of users: new
SAS users who are programmers or have a programming background and
experienced SAS users. This guide is designed for two types of users:
new SAS users who are programmers or have a programming background and
experienced SAS users.
Sign up for Getting Started with SAS Enterprise Guide to learn
how to do basic tasks in SAS Enterprise Guide: create a project, add
data to a project, and run tasks to analyze and report on your data. In
this tutorial you will also find out how to run tasks that create a
listing report and a bar chart, and to use a query to modify data for
reports.
The tutorial is designed to be used in conjunction with SAS Enterprise
Guide software which is available from the Research Computing Support
Center. One of the great features in Enterprise Guide is the ability to
generate excellent graphics without writing the code. Experienced SAS
users will be glad to know that once the layout, colors and other
formatting details are in place, Enterprise Guide also generates the
associated SAS source code if desired. The code may then be reused in
either other Enterprise Guide projects or in the standard SAS
environment with minor modifications. It only takes a few hours to
become familiar with Enterprise Guide. Even experienced SAS programmers
will very quickly recover the time investment and can look forward to
generating a higher quality product in less time.
Getting Started with SAS/GIS Software is a step-by-step,
high-level tutorial for SAS/GIS software intended for new users of
SAS/GIS who are familiar with SAS software.
Each tutorial mentioned is 2-4 hours in length. Required are Internet
Explorer 5.5 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later, with

Current SAS Versions by Platforms
SAS Institute, Inc. stopped developing for the Macintosh platform at version
6.12 in the mid-1990s. Version 6.12 is available on CD from the Research
Computing Support Center. While version 6.12 was a solid workhorse, Macintosh
users should be aware of the fact that 6.12 is many versions old now. Also,
SAS 6.12 for Macintosh will only run in 'Classic Mode' in OS-X. Having missed
out on several years of bug fixes and improvements in algorithmic
implementation, SAS on the Macintosh does not incorporate the statistical
developments of recent years that are being integrated into mainstream
computational statistics.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP PROFESSIONAL run the most recent version of
SAS, Version 9.1.3 SP 3. They can also run earlier versions of SAS.
On the Linux and Solaris platforms, the command 'sas' always runs the
latest available version of SAS, currently version 9.1.3. The command
'sas.old' typically runs one version back. Currently this is SAS 9.1
for Linux and Solaris. These versions apply to Solaris and Linux
machines which mount the /common directories.
The command 'sas' on the current 32-bit blue.unix cluster runs
version 8.2 of SAS. Version 8.2 is the last supported version of SAS on
32-bit AIX. Since there is little point in having even older versions,
the command 'sas.old' runs version 8.2 as well.

Life Sciences and the Grid Workshop Jan. 9, 2006
Research in the life sciences, mathematics and computing is at an important
nexus driven by the generation of large volumes of rapidly expanding data
and the capabilities of technology to share distributed data and resources.
The core of this nexus affords researchers the opportunity to address large
and complex problems, even model entire organisms. Grid technology,
high-performance computing or "cyberinfrastructure" provides the ability to
process, analyze, store, and share data on unprecedented scales. Synergy
between these research disciplines enables "big" science through "team"
science. This workshop endeavors to contribute to this synergy.
