For
theoretical work we use Darwin,
a 64-node Linux cluster that was specially designed to calculate white dwarf
pulsation models. This innovative commodity- hardware parallel computer was
originally built in 1998 for a tiny fraction of the cost of a supercomputer. We are
currently developing a new metacomputer called
Dawkins.

For
observational work, White Dwarf Research Corporation uses data from the
Whole Earth Telescope, an informal collaboration of
astronomers at observatories around the globe who cooperate to produce nearly
continuous time-series photometry of white dwarfs and similar targets for up
to 14 days at a time. This instrument has been operating since 1988, and is
now run from headquarters in Delaware.
