HPC @ SCS technical topics series

During two sessions of the SCS Tech Series seminar an overview of the HPC cluster and an introduction in the use of the MOAB job scheduler will be given. The sessions will be on Wednesday Oct 3 and Oct 10 in the SCS lecture room DSL 152.

  • On October 3 we will give a brief introduction into the hardware and software of the system.
  • On October 10 we briefly discuss the MOAB job scheduler, the different types of queues one can submit his/her job to and we show some example scripts for use with openmpi, mpich v1 and mpich v2. More information about MOAB.

High Performance Computing @ FSU

Computational resources are a critical part of scientific research and engineering programs and play an increasingly important role in preparing students for careers in both commercial and academics fields. Recent advances in data acquisition, algorithm development, and computer hardware have made High Performance Computing (HPC) fundamentally necessary to remain competitive. FSU has long recognized the importance of local HPC resources for research and education. In 2002 FSU gained the distinct honor of having the largest university-owned computer facility worldwide and 34th largest among all facilities. Since its inception this facility has enabled research programs spanning such disciplines as biology, engineering, physics, meteorology, mathematics, oceanography, and more (see our research page for details).

The FSU HPC mission is to:

  • Support multidisciplinary research
  • Provide a general access computing platform
  • Encourage cost sharing by departments with dedicated computing needs
  • Provide a broad base of support and training opportunities
