ISU's High Performance Computing Partnership
The purpose of the High Performance Computing (HPC) Partnership is to build a high performance computational facility and keep it up-to-date through active cost-sharing between the university, IT, colleges and departments, the faculty, and through supporting grants to enable world-leading research.
Currently the HPC Partnership is made up of 25 faculty with Professor Glenn Luecke the Director and has:
Two SGI Origin 2000 parallel computers HPC1 and HPC2 which together have 48 processors, 44.5 Gbytes of memory and about 700 Gbytes of disk; and
A 30 node cluster HPC3 with consists of a Front-end and 29 dual-CPU compute nodes connected by MYRINET. Together the compute nodes have 58 Alpha Processors, 2 TB of RAIDed long-term disk storage, 350 GB of temporary disk storage and 58 GB of main memory.
