IMSS provides two solutions for High Performance Computing (HPC) needs.
HPC Cluster Management
The IMSS HPC team provides full-service cluster management, including customer support and resources for the design, building and day-to-day operation. We currently operate many of the campus high performance computing clusters.
The IMSS HPC team can:
- Work with high speed interconnects such as myrinet and infiniband and parallel file systems such as ibrix, lustre and panfs
- Liaise with HPC vendors such as HP, Dell and Penguin
- Support the installation and administration of multiple scheduling technologies such as Moab, Maui and LSF depending on the clients needs
- Provide assistance with MPI code compilation and profiling

HPC Cloud Service
IMSS also offers a High Performance Computing (HPC) pay-as-you-go service in the cloud. With this HPC service, faculty and research groups who cannot expend large financial resources on cluster hardware and infrastructure now have the opportunity to run on a locally managed and supported HPC system.
