Munki

Munki is a macOS endpoint management service based on the open-source Munki project. Multi-tenant Munki is a centrally-hosted instance of Munki developed by the iSchool and Technology Services at the University of Illinois. It allows IT Pros, from across the campus system, to automate the installation and removal of centrally-created content (applications) while also providing private, restricted-access repositories for colleges and units.

MunkiReport works in tandem with Munki, providing a quick overview of your Munki-managed Mac fleet through various dashboards and reports.

Munki and MunkiReport are intended only for macOS endpoints. No other operating systems are supported.

Several applications and configurations are provided by the Endpoint Management Services team in the global or campus Munki repositories, including:

  • Apple software updates
  • Adobe products
  • Microsoft Office
  • WebStore applications
  • Many common free applications

NAMD - Molecular Dynamics

NAMD is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between Prof. Kale, computer science Prof. Robert D. Skeel, and physics Prof. Klaus J. Schulten at the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group (TCBG) of Beckman Institute. NAMD is a parallel, object-oriented molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. NAMD is distributed free of charge and includes source code. Charm++, developed by Prof. Kale and co-workers, simplifies parallel programming and provides automatic load balancing, which was crucial to the performance of NAMD

NMR Laboratory

The NMR Lab of the School of Chemical Sciences offers a wide range of spectrometers, probes, and technical capabilities including multi-dimensional, multi-nuclear, and solid-state NMR. Supported by four full-time staff and two student hourlies, ten spectrometers in three locations allow walk-up and long-term NMR experiments 24/7. Spectrometers at 400 MHz, 500 MHz, and 600 MHz are available for short-to-medium length experiments, 750 MHz and 300 MHz wide-bore spectrometers with specialty probes and solids accessories can perform multinuclear and solid state NMR experiments. All are equipped for variable temperature operation. Our ten Varian spectrometers and 1 Bruker spectrometer include (in MHz): Seven liquid-state NMRs: 400 (two), 500 (four), 600, Two solid-state NMRs: 500, 750, Two liquid/solid compatible NMRs: 300 and 750. An automated Bruker CryoProbe was added in the summer of 2016. We also provide automated, on-flow NMR sample analysis (from vials) for undergrad organic chemistry courses offered via the Department of Chemistry. Electronics and IT staff provide additional support. To make the most of NMR as an analytical tool, all newcomers receive about 4 hours of individual basic training with additional instruction available for variable temperature control, multi-dimensional NMR, and specialty spectrometers and experiments. Our primary goal is to provide the highest level of NMR performance to the students, staff, and faculty of the School and UIUC campus. The NMR Lab is also available to all outside users, both academic and industrial

OpenAtom - Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics

Many important problems in material science, chemistry, solid-state physics, and biophysics require a modeling approach based on fundamental quantum mechanical principles. A particular approach that has proven to be relatively efficient and useful is Car-Parrinello ab initio molecular dynamics (CPAIMD). Parallelization of this approach beyond a few hundred processors is challenging, due to the complex dependencies among various subcomputations, which lead to complex communication optimization and load balancing problems. We are parallelizing CPAIMD using Charm++. The computation is modeled using a large number of virtual processors, which are mapped flexibly to available processors with assistance from the Charm++ runtime system.

Scaling the Computation of Epistatic Interactions in GWAS Data

Calculating epistatic interactions between genomic variants in studies incorporating complex endophenotypes is a computationally challenging problem that requires emphasis on accelerating and parallelizing the code and on workload distribution efficiency. Accelerating and scaling this process will enable the detection of epistasis in many existing GWAS datasets, from both the biomedical and agricultural areas.
