Opportunity to Join New Shared HPC Cluster (May 22 - June 16, 2023)

The Shared Research Computing Policy Advisory Committee (SRCPAC) is happy to offer the Columbia research community the option to buy into the next shared high performance computing cluster. For more details and pricing, see the full 2023 HPC Buy-in Announcement.

Please fill out our shared HPC order form between Monday, May 22, 2023 and Friday, June 16, 2023. All orders will require a chartstring account code. Please ensure that your chartstring is properly budgeted and will be valid until the end of the calendar year. We plan for the equipment to go live in late Fall 2023.

For any questions or to schedule an information session please contact ​John Villa, Manager of CUIT High Performance Computing, at [email protected]​.

The number of servers purchased by a research group defines a share of the total system (expressed as a percentage) that will ​determine job priority. System policies that determine job priority are approved by a faculty operations committee consisting of representatives of ​the ​participating research groups and are implemented by CUIT staff.

Please fill out our shared HPC order form by Friday, June 16. You may purchase one or more servers. A server will have a 5-year lifespan, and the purchase price will include racks, network switches, job scheduling software, user support, and other infrastructure-related costs. A research group can consist of one or more users.
