The Scientific Computing group partners with scientists to accelerate scientific discovery.
With our highly tuned high performance computing and data ecosystem, we enable researchers to ask and answer new scientific questions.
The HPC resource, upgraded in 2020 with a total of 1.5 petaflops of computational power, consists of >20,000 compute cores, 350 terabytes of flash and 21 petabytes of parallel file system storage, and has been cited in over 1,170 papers in seven years.
