Summer HPC Symposium Poster Session: Showcasing HPC research

The Wednesday, June 27 HPC Symposium poster session demonstrated the variety of ways the University community utilizes high-performance computing clusters. Over 35 people attended the poster session that included participants from the Center for Composite Materials, the Coastal Engineering Laboratory, the Center for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, and from departments across campus including Chemistry and Biochemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Physics & Astronomy. For these researchers–especially those doing extensive molecular modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and simulating molecular dynamics–having access to a HPC cluster is crucial.

The Research Computing Team also shared a poster for the newly-named Caviness cluster, named after Jane Caviness. Participants were able to ask questions about the structure of the new cluster and how the cluster will evolve over-time. Those interested in purchasing nodes on the new cluster should complete the Node Interest Form.
