High Performance Computing

OIT High Performance and Scientific Computing (HPSC) works closely with researchers who need specialized, high-end, supercomputing resources. Researchers can access the Open and Secure Computing Enclaves for high-performance computing tasks. While the Open Enclave allows for seamless access for all researchers on campus, the Secure Enclave meets Protected Health Information and Controlled Unclassified Information federal regulations. Support for using these resources includes system administration, scientific computing, documentation, training, software installation, and maintenance.
