In an effort to advance research and optimize user
service, LSU's Center for
Computation & Technology (CCT)
and Information Technology
Services (ITS) joined forces to create a support structure
focused on expertise in high performance computing. Known as
HPC@LSU, this organization maintains a premier computing
environment, consisting of human, hardware, and software
resources, for cutting edge, cross-disciplinary computational
research. It's services are available to all users of HPC systems
under it's management. This currently includes systems on the LSU
campus, the Louisiana Optical Network Infrastructure
(LONI) HPC systems, and those it
operates as an Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery
Environment (XSEDE) Level 2 Service Provider for the National
Science Foundation (NSF) (XSEDE).
Through this site, researchers can review the systems and
services that are available, open and manage system user accounts
and service unit allocations, find documentation and training
materials, and obtain the customer service and support needed to
effectly conduct computational studies on the systems. By virtue
of it's high profile operations, HPC@LSU, helps positions
Louisiana as a national leader, not only in deploying the most
progressive high-tech infrastructure, but also in advancing it for
scientific, engineering, arts, and business applications. HPC@LSU
is focused on building the current system modernization momentum
to further strengthen Louisiana's intellectual capital.
