Other HPC resources accessible to the NC State community
The Sam VCL Cluster cluster at MCNC has some HPC cycles available
to NCSU users.
No disk backups are available. Disk space is somewhat limited.
NC State faculty confortable with working "without backup" and with limited disk space can request access for themselves
or their students from gary_howell@ncsu.edu or eric_sills@ncsu.edu.
There are some other HPC machines accessible within the entire
UNC system. These include shared memory machines and a cluster
with a high speed interconnect. For more information about High Performance
