The mission of the Data Science Institute Cluster is to support the educational and research activities of the DSI as they relate to high-performance, computationally expensive operations. The Cluster is not designed to support any computational load, but instead focused
The DSI Cluster supports:
- High-performance computational operations using standard hardware via a common scheduling interface (SLURM) and traditional unix tools and interfaces.
- This includes large scale data processing on GPUs and CPUs.
- The cluster support both private partitions purchased under our purchasing policy as well as both research and teaching using our general partition.
The cluster does NOT support:
- Real-time operations
- Significant data collection operations (such as web scraping)
- Web servers
- High-uptime systems
- High-privacy data storage (HIPPA/SOC2/etc.)
