Overview

PACE provides researchers with a robust platform that enables faculty and students to carry out research initiatives without the burden of maintaining infrastructure, software, and dedicated technicians. The program’s services are managed by OIT’s Academic & Research Technologies department and include physical hosting, system management infrastructure, high-speed scratch storage, home directory space, commodity networking, and common HPC software such as RedHat Enterprise Linux, VASP, LAMMPS, BLAST, Matlab, Mathematica, and Ansys Fluent. Various compilers, math libraries and other middleware is available for those who author their own codes. All of these resources are designed and offered with the specific intention of combining intellect with efficiency, in order to advance the research presence here at Tech to the peak of its abilities.

There are many ways to participate with PACE. With a common infrastructure, we support clusters dedicated to individual PIs or research groups, clusters that are shared amongst participants and our FoRCE Research Computing Environment (aka “The FoRCE”). The FoRCE is available to all campus users via a merit-based proposal mechanism.

The April 30 HPC Town Hall is open to members of the Tech research community and will feature presentations on the successes and challenges that PACE is currently experiencing, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.
