Supercomputing

List of Research Computing Resources.

Parallel computing has the goal of enhancing performance through the process of performing parts of a task concurrently. Achieving the performance gains projected for applications through parallelism offered by today's parallel systems (with multicore processors, GPU units, etc.)  mandates new paradigms for system software (operating systems, languages, compilers, and programming tools) and redesign of applications software through the development and implementation of parallel algorithms. High performance computing is a growing area of research and many groups in the Department share interest in Computational Physics research, algorithm development, and education at both undergraduate and graduate level.
 
The Department researchers utilize remote supercomputing facilities (such as Xsede) and operate locally six research computing cluster:
