High Performance Community Computing Cluster (HPC3)
Quicklink(s)
HPC3 is the next-generation of shared computing at UCI and builds upon the very successful HPC and GreenPlanet clusters.
HPC3 builds on top of the typical “condo-style” cluster by adding:
- Granting of cycles to researchers from UCI-purchased hardware
- Pre-purchase of cycles by the core-hour
Faculty/grants can still purchase nodes. Granted cycles and by-the-core-hour purchases enable UCI to reach the Research Cyberinfrastructure Vision articulated by a faculty-led committee in 2016. These changes require some modification in how resources are shared.
Getting Started
Please visit the HPC3 website for information on getting an account, logging in, allocations, submitting jobs, using environment modules, submitting support tickets, hardware specs, purchasing and more.
How to ask for help
Ask the UCI Community
As part of the launch of HPC3, we are adding a Google Groups discussion list. If you subscribe to this list, you can ask questions of the greater UCI research community. There are many knowledgeable people at UCI who can help. RCIC will also monitor and respond to posts in this discussion group. Conversations are archived so that you can search previous posts.
