The ITS Statistics and Computation Service (SCS) runs a customized Linux distribution based on Linux From Scratch. We are currently working to migrate the service to Red Hat Linux. We expect this to be done by the end of the Winter term.
Each of the production SCS machines have two AMD Opteron processors at 2600 MHz. Each machine has 16 GB of RAM.
Machines in the testing pool have two 8-core Xeon processors at 2500 MHz, and 24 GB of RAM.
If you have any questions regarding how to use the statistics or computational software available on these machines, please contact the Center for Statistical Consultation and Research (CSCAR).
