This is a Joint Initiative of The College of Engineering's
Faculty Academic Computing Committee and Electronic and Computer Service
This system was purchased and deployed between May and July of 2006. Its primary purpose and function is to support those courses in the Engineering curricula that can use High Performance Computing to enhance the educational experience of undergraduates and graduates. Faculty desiring to use the system for courses need only follow the "-- CLICK HERE To Login Securely --" link below to register a course; course registration must be completed at the beginning of each semester.
The system will also be accessible to graduate and faculty research on an as-available basis; scheduling and priority queuing software will be used to manage accessibility of the College's High Performance Computing System.
