High Performance Computing (HPC)
Lovelace, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ High-Performance Computing (HPC) System, supports the research enterprise at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Researchers who find that standard workstations cannot perform necessary research-related tasks efficiently are encouraged to review HPC system procedures and obtain an .
The Lovelace system, named for computing pioneer Ada Lovelace, provides high-speed parallel/distributed data processing and research-dedicated storage with high input-output capabilities. Please see software and system specifications.
Support for HPC
Â鶹ÊÓƵ's initial HPC system, Zorro, was installed in summer 2011. Initial funding for the Â鶹ÊÓƵ HPC System was generously provided by the National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation Program Grant (BCS-1039497); the Office of the Provost; the College of Arts and Sciences; the Office of Information Technology; and the Center for Research, Teaching, and Learning. Ongoing support is provided by Â鶹ÊÓƵ faculty PIs; the Office of Information Technology; and the Center for Research, Teaching, and Learning.
Research Support
Zorro supports research projects in all academic units.
