Texas Southern University's High Performance Computing Center (TSU-HPCC) was established in 2008 to promote research and teaching on campus through integrating leading-edge high performance computing and visualization for the faculty, staff and students of Texas Southern University.
The HPCC provides consulting and assistance to campus researchers with experimental software and/or hardware needs. We also provide training in parallel and grid computing. HPCC will serves as a liaison between various teams that are engaged in research. We work to support, configure and port applications to HPCC resources.
The HPCC has computational resources which include one Linux clusters, one SGI Origin 3400, one SGI Onyx 3400, and a grid computing environment. Our newest computational resource, Ares, installed in December 2008 has six dual-slot quad-core nodes with Intel 5350 processors for a total of 48 2.0 GHz cores, connected dual Gigabit, with a rating of 250 peak gigaflops. Two other computational resource available through HPCC are, Talas I and Talos II. Talos I is a SGI Orgin 3400 parallel memory computer. It has 32 MIPS R12000, 400 MHz processors and 32 GBytes of main memory. Talos II SGI Oynx 3400 parallel memory computer. It has 24 MIPS R12000, 400 MHz processors and 32 GBytes of main memory.
We are working to expand these resource to enhance research and teaching at Texas Southern University.
