CCR Computational Resources Schematic

PDF version

The Center for Computational Research, a leading academic supercomputing facility, maintains a high-performance computing environment, high-end visualization laboratories, and support staff with expertise in scientific computing, software engineering, parallel computing, grid computing, visualization, advanced database design, and networking. The Center's extensive computing facilities include a Dell Linux cluster consisting of 2,112 64-bit Xeon processors and a 64 processor SGI Altix with 256GB of shared memory. The Center also maintains a 25 Tbyte EMC SAN. The computer visualization laboratory features a tiled display wall, a VisDuo passive stereo system, and an Access Grid Node. Based on aggregate compute capacity, CCR is one of the most powerful university based supercomputing sites in the U.S., with more than 13 Tflops of peak performance.
