Computational Hardware
The TIGRESS High Performance Computing Center and Visualization Laboratory at Princeton University is a collaborative facility that brings together funding, support, and participation from the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE), the Office of Information Technology (OIT), the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics (Genomics) , the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), and a number of academic departments and faculty members. The facility is designed to create a well balanced set of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources meeting the broad computational requirements of the Princeton University research community.
Current resources are summarized in the table below. Available resources also include /tigress-hsm, a 1 PB GPFS filesystem.
Contributing faculty and departments are guaranteed access to the systems based on their contributions. Other researchers from Princeton University can gain access to the resources through a proposal process.
