Discovery is a 3000+ core Linux cluster that is available to the Dartmouth research community.
Discovery contains ‘C’ and FORTRAN compilers as well as third party applications. Requests to install additional application software are welcomed and should be directed to Research Computing.
Job submissions on Discovery are submitted to a queue. A queuing system allows for more equitable allocation of resources and optimizes cpu usage. For more information see the Scheduling Jobs to Run page.
Discovery is available for all Dartmouth faculty research including the Geisel School of Medicine, and professional schools.
