Computers

The ITP computer system currently consists of 7 computers. These are:

• max - Max is the most powerful computer at the ITP. It is an SGI 4D/440 with 4 R3000 processors, 64MB of memory, and a 600MB disk.

• insti - Insti is an SGI indigo with an R4000 processor, 80MB of memory, an 8-bit color display, and 3GB of disk space. It is the server for the 5 indigos which have no disks.

• tutef, orthe, oreti, calph, ysics - These are the five diskless indigos. They each have an R4000 processor, 48MB of memory, and an 8-bit color display.

• stony, brook - These are two R4000 indigos, each with a 420 MB internal disk. Each has 48MB of memory and an 8-bit color display.

The names of the first 6 indigos can be remembered by taking the phrase ``Institute for Theoretical Physics'' and breaking it up into five letter segments: ``insti'', ``tutef'', ``orthe'', ``oreti'', ``calph'', ``ysics''.
