What is stoomboot
Stoomboot is a batch farm for local use at NIKHEF. It is in principle open to all NIKHEF users, but a login account does not give automatic access to stoomboot. Contact helpdesk@nikhef.nl to gain access
Hardware
Stoomboot consists of 16 nodes (stbc-01 through stbc-16) that are each a equipped with dual quad-core Intel Xeon E5335 2.0 Ghz processors and 16 Gb of memory. The total number of cores is 128.
Software & disk access
All stoomboot nodes run Scientific Linux 4.7. All NFS mountable disks at NIKHEF are visible (/project/* and /data/*). Stoomboot does not run AFS so no AFS directories including /afs/cern.ch are not visible.
