The Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP) is an organization based in the Physics Department of the University of Michigan whose primary aim is to promote excellence in theoretical physics research in the broadest sense with significant focus on interdisciplinary applications and methods through a program of workshops and conferences, seminars, collaborative and individual research. It also aims to educate graduate and undergraduate students in theoretical physics and to communicate its activities to the general public through public lectures and other outreach activities.

Resources:

The Legato cluster is a 400-core computer cluster from Dell comprised of 100 nodes with 16 Gbytes of memory and two dual-core AMD Opteron cpus per node.  Last year, MCTP funds helped purchase a 13 Terabyte storage system (mounted at /phys/mctp) that's available to MCTP users.The system runs the Red Hat linux OS and parallel computing is supported using c, Fortran and other languages (e.g., python) interacting with the mpi (message passing interface) libraries.  Jobs are submitted through a queuing system.  Those interested in applying for an account should see Marlin Whitaker in OCS.  For more information, see http://legato.physics.lsa.umich.edu/
