Python and Matlab are the primary programming languages for my group. Occasionally we use Julia for some problems.

My Cluster (172.16.0.12, local access only)

• There are currently nine nodes, most with 64GB RAM. 
• The compute nodes can only be accessed from master.
• The /home and /software folders are shared among the nodes.
