High Performance Computational Resources provide access to the ICER supercomputer, which has more than 56,000 compute cores (plus GPUs and other specialized hardware) with a total of 3.9 petaflops of computational capacity, 8 petabytes of high-performance disk storage, and a wide variety of research software.
High performance computational resources are offered by the Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER).
INSTITUTE FOR CYBER-ENABLED RESEARCH (ICER)
FEATURES
- Provides access to researchers needing large quantities of computing, including both high-throughput and high-performance computing
- Providing computational assistance in large-scale calculations or many small-scale calculations
- Supporting calculations that require large amounts of data or require large amounts of memory
PRE-REQUISITES
- Only MSU faculty and staff may request and be the PI on allocations on the system
- Faculty and staff at external partner universities (Central Michigan, Western Michigan, and Oakland Universities) may also request allocations through their university’s own process
- Faculty and staff can request access for students and postdoctoral researches and will assume responsibility of those accounts
CHARGES
- MSU provides access to the supercomputer and to a subset of the computational resources available to MSU researchers at no charge
- Researchers with substantial computing needs can purchase additional resources; see https://icer.msu.edu/users/buy-options for more information
REQUEST
- Allocations and accounts can be requested at https://contact.icer.msu.edu/account. For non-MSU, consult https://wiki.hpcc.msu.edu/display/ITH/Obtain+a+HPCC+account for instructions regarding how to request an allocation and/or account.
