High-Performance Computing and Communications

Among supercomputers in an academic setting, HPCC's supercomputer cluster is the 7th fastest in the United States. Among all supercomputers in the world, it is ranked 79th. It claimed this distinction by achieving a benchmark in Fall 2011 of 149.9 teraflops, or 149.9 trillion floating-point calculations per second, on its 2,225-node, 10-gigabit backbone cluster.

HPCC comprises a diverse mix of computing and data resources. Two Linux clusters constitute the principal computing resource. In addition, HPCC has a central facility that provides more than 1.2 petabytes of combined disk storage and potential access to nearly a petabyte of tape storage.
