The Department of Economics houses its own computing cluster to serve the needs of faculty and graduate students.

The Economics Computing Cluster is a Linux-based system. In brief, the cluster consists of one Sun Fire V40z server and eight Sun Fire V20z servers all running Scientific Linux 4.4 x86_64. Each of the V20z servers has two AMD Opteron 250 CPUs; four of the servers have 8G of RAM and the other four have 4G of RAM. The V40z server has four AMD Opteron 850 CPUs and 32G of RAM. The cluster includes approximately 4T of RAID storage, about 500G on the V40z and the rest on a Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array.

Statistical software available on the cluster includes Matlab, Mathematica, SAS, Stata/SE, Stat/Transfer, and R.
