I've just completed my first successful set of calculations on Medusa, the new computer cluster that the Theory Group recently purchased. Medusa comprises 72 nodes of 8 AMD Opteron processors each, linked together with an InfiniBand networking fabric. There have been a few teething problems, but everything seems to be working OK now. The test calculations involve Monte-Carlo simulation of radiative transfer through the electron-scattering magnetosphere of σ Ori E. I'm trying to reproduce the temporal variations in the star's linear polarization, originally observed by Kemp & Herman (1977). I've made some Stokes IQU images of the simulation results, and strung them together as a movie (AVI; MOV; movie help). The image is linked from the post [2].
