At Dartmouth, Research Computing offers High Performance Computing (HPC) to the entire research community, regardless of their school or department. It is a combination of powerful computer systems, software, and algorithms to solve complex scientific, engineering, and data-intensive problems that require significant computational resources. Our HPC systems consist of multiple interconnected servers or nodes, each with high-performance processors, large amounts of memory, high-speed network connections, and data storage.
The main goal of HPC is to provide processing power and data storage that far exceeds what can be achieved on a single computer or server. By leveraging the power of high-throughput, parallel processing and distributed computing, HPC systems can perform calculations and simulations faster and more efficiently, reducing the time required for scientific discovery and innovation.
Research Computing offers a variety of HPC services, on premise and in the cloud.
