The systems initially will be configured with [Rocky Linux 8](https://rockylinux.org/) with software and file organization very similar to the [RPWG](https://space.physics.uiowa.edu/plasma-wave/) systems managed by Larry. Similarly, a login on any system will provide access to all the same software, user, and data directories. If you need to scale up to utilize more compute resources, you only need to run on multiple servers.
The systems at the ITF in Oakdale were the original "SPDR" (pronounced spider) systems, although now we use that term to refer to all of the integrated systems, workstations or servers, configured to share the same login directories, data directories, and software resources. All workstations are currently running Rocky Linux 9, as is the server Harlak, where the most up-to-date versions of applications will be available. Migration of the other servers will occur in the future.

Workstations have been updated to Rocky Linux 9. The same file systems will be available as will nearly identical software environments.
GPUs cannot be accommodated in the chassis of the SPDR servers, however, I have a very good workstation design that can host thousands of CUDA cores for a very reasonable cost. See me @ljg.
