HPC Resources for Teaching & Coursework

Introduction

Instructors can utilize High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources for academic courses. Whether faculty are planning a course that involves computationally intensive tasks or introducing students to parallel computing concepts, the HPC environment can offer valuable resources.

Course Request

To request HPC resources for your course, submit the following information to

HPC Course Request Form

Notice Period

A minimum of 30 days' notice is required for requesting specific software installations or substantial resource allocations.

When to Use HPC in a Course

HPC resources are good for the courses if they satisfy the following requirements.

  • Simulations and Modeling: Perform complex simulations and modeling exercises that require significant computational power.
  • Data Analysis: Conduct large-scale data analysis projects, exploring real-world datasets with efficiency.
  • Parallel Computing: Teach parallel computing concepts and applications by leveraging the cluster's parallel processing capabilities.
  • Optimization Problems: Solve optimization problems that benefit from parallel processing and distributed computing.
  • Scientific Research Projects: Enable students to work on scientific research projects that demand high-performance computing resources.

HPC Introduction for Courses

This webinar provides an introduction to High-Performance Computing for coursework. The session covers:

  • Overview of HPC concepts
  • Accessing and navigating the HPC cluster
  • Explanation of available partitions
  • Basic job submission and monitoring
  • Filesystems on HPC cluster
  • How to contact us

HPC Open Office Hours

If students have any issues or questions regarding HPC resources for their courses, they can stop by to meet with our student consultants and ask any questions you have about using HPC resources. We have also added a virtual option in case students are unable to come to the office in person (See the Zoom link below). There's no need to create a ticket or register in advance; if follow-up is needed, the student consultants will open a ticket on your behalf, and you'll receive further instructions.

  • Every Monday and Wednesday
  • GITC 5302N
  • Zoom
  • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
