What is coyote?

coyote is about 568 cores spread over 70+
nodes. the queue-system is torque (ie, pbs) and not
sge (like darwin), but the translation should not
cause you any suffering.

there are also three (3) large-memory interactive
nodes, viz super-genius, mega-genius, and ultra-genius.
sg has 64G ram and the others 192G.

Cluster rules & etiquette

...

The folder /tmp is free for use, but you are asked to clean up after yourself.

Things to note

• You can ssh to coyote only from MIT IP addresses. This means you either need to be on campus or be connected via the MIT VPN. (This was to mitigate security attacks on the cluster.)
• The default shell on coyote is tcsh. To change to bash, issue: chsh -p /bin/bash my_username. You might need to use usermod rather than chsh.
