Temple offers three high performance computing Linux environments to provide university researchers sufficient computing power to do their intensive data analysis.
Overview
The HPC environment consists of:
- Owl's Nest (owlsnest.hpc.temple.edu)
- Compute (compute.temple.edu)
- Machine Learning ( gpu.hpc.temple.edu & dgx-1.hpc.temple.edu )
Use of this environment is restricted to those users with significant computational and/or large data manipulation needs.
The HPC is designed to meet the needs of the following:
- Faculty, staff, graduate and professional students with a current AccessNet account requiring high end computing functionality
- Undergraduate students with faculty sponsorship requiring high end computational functionality
- Authorized guests from other research institutions working in collaboration with university employees
To learn more:
- Refer to the High Performance Computing (HPC) website.
