National HPCs

Beyond Yale’s on campus clusters, there are a number of ways for researchers to obtain compute resources (both cycles and storage) at national facilities.

Yale researchers may use the Data Management Planning Tool (DMPtool) to create, review, and share data management plans that are in accordance with institutional and funder requirements.

XSEDE

Quarterly | Application & Info

Startup Allocations are readily available on XSEDE resources (typically approved within 2 weeks) for benchmarking and planning runs. For even lower commitment allocations (e.g. to just explore the resource), YCRC staff members have "Campus Champions" allocations on all XSEDE resources that can be shared upon request. Send an email to hpc@yale.edu for access.

XSEDE resources include the following. Up to date information is available at xsede.org:

  • Stampede2: traditional compute and Phis
  • Jetstream: Science Gateways
  • Bridges: traditional compute and GPUs
  • Comet: traditional compute and GPUs
  • XStream: GPU cluster
