Computational research can analyze models and/or data to reach new conclusions in faster ways or more complex scenarios. UCF has a 8,000+ core cluster for general-purpose computation for research across many fields of academic work, and a 132-node GPU cluster for specialized computation. This workshop will review capabilities of the UCF Advanced Research Computing Center in general, with a focus on the two clusters (known as Stokes and Newton). Storage system usage, job scheduling, account balancing, example slurm script and job submission will be covered with a demonstration. The demonstration will include examples of job that uses only CPU or GPU on the clusters. A brief introduction to the national (ACCESS) as well as state HPC cluster (HiPerGator) which are outside of UCF campus will also be shared. This event is not being recorded.
