High Performance Computing at Princeton
Academic Services continues to expand Princeton’s high-performance computing infrastructure to meet the needs of the University’s research community.
During the last year, we strengthened the TIGRESS HPC facility, working closely with faculty in the use and support of the facility. We completed the installation and implementation of the Hierarchical Storage Management system (1 petabyte of storage) in the Lewis Library machine room. We made it possible to install and operate a new Beowulf cluster, in early 2009, through improvements to power and cooling in current OIT facilities. And we prepared for the arrival of an additional Beowulf cluster in late spring/early summer.
Princeton’s new Director of PICScIE, Jeroen Tromp, had led the effort to purchase a Dell Nehalem processor cluster, containing 3584 cores and 11 TB of RAM. The system will be installed this coming year in the Lewis Library machine room.
