Private Clusters

If you are in a group using a private cluster, please refer to the documentation page for that specific cluster.

Generally, new instances launched on Red Cloud will contain basic operating system software and utilities, but will not contain pre-installed scientific applications. It is your responsibility to install any relevant applications either using a built-in package manager or by transferring your application code to the instance (e.g., via scp or sftp). In some cases, however, there are resources available to support running particular applications, as described below:

Red Cloud

• On Linux instances, information on using package managers to install software: ( Using apt on Ubuntu ) ( Using yum on Centos )
• Installing R, a commonly used programming language and statistical analysis environment, along with Installing R in your home directory
• Running MATLAB Parallel Server in Red Cloud
• Running OpenFOAM-7 in a Docker container
• Creating and using a GPU Instance with pre-installed software (CUDA, NVIDIA Driver, Anaconda, Docker, Jupyter, MATLAB, etc.)
