Compute Servers
Courant has a number of systems that can be used for CPU intensive jobs and programming assignments for courses and research. These machines are restricted to logins from within the Courant network, so if you are coming from outside of CIMS, you will have to first login to one of the remote access servers, then use ssh to get to them.
Please do not use access.cims.nyu.edu for cpu-intensive jobs or course work.
To check the SSH Fingerprint and verify the Host Identity of the servers listed to to this page.
If you are looking for the Prince Cluster please refer to the High Performance Computing (Google site) or High Performance Computing (NYU IT) pages. Please note, we do not maintain the Prince Cluster.
The following Linux systems should be used only for CPU and memory intensive processes:
| Hostname | CPU | Memory | OS |
|---|---|---|---|
| crunchy1.cims.nyu.edu | Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) | 256 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
| crunchy2.cims.nyu.edu | Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 Ghz) (64 cores) | 256 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
| crunchy5.cims.nyu.edu | Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) | 256 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
| crunchy6.cims.nyu.edu | Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) | 256 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
The following Linux systems should be used for generic number crunching:
| Hostname | CPU | Memory | OS |
|---|---|---|---|
| snappy1.cims.nyu.edu | Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) | 128 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |

| snappy5.cims.nyu.edu | Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) | 128 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
Web Service and Lightweight Computing
The following machine should be used for both internal and external web based development and deployment and general, non-resource-intensive coursework:
| Hostname | CPU | Memory | OS |
|---|---|---|---|
| linserv1.cims.nyu.edu | Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) | 256 GB | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 |
We have some general instructions for setting up an Apache Webserver, Apache Tomcat, MySQL, and other services.

Other Machines
There are also systems associated with research groups. They are restricted to users who have been approved by a faculty member associated with the relevant research group.
One such group of systems belongs to the Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science (CAOS).
