Overview
The FSU high performance computing (HPC) cluster is an integrated group of systems connected by an ultra-fast InfiniBand data network. The HPC, provided by the ITS Research Computing Center, is designed to run compute-intensive programs that require more memory and CPUs than an average computer can support. The HPC is ideal for distributed parallel computations, data processing and analysis and long-running batch computing jobs. Using the HPC, university researchers can process and analyze complex datasets and computationally intensive tasks, condensing weeks of work into days or hours.

Additional Information
Research groups who buy into the HPC gain priority access to resources and a dedicated job scheduler account for queuing jobs.
Faculty sponsors can request HPC accounts for students and staff.
The Open OnDemand web portal is the recommended way for accessing the HPC. It provides easy access to HPC file systems and clusters and allows users to upload and download files, submit and manage jobs and run GUI applications—all via a web browser without installing additional software.
