PAOC's compute clusters provide students and researchers with enviable computing resources.
PAOC currently supports a number of systems, principle among which are the Engaging and Svante compute clusters.
The Engaging cluster is a large compute cluster managed by MIT, consisting of over 1500 compute nodes, 40,000 cores, and 10 PB of Lustre-based storage. All nodes are interconnected by a low-latency infiniband fabric, and some compute nodes are equipped with GPUs to accelerate enabled mathematically-intensive codes. All PAOC students are eligible for a general account on this cluster; many PAOC faculty have priority on a subset of compute nodes for their students' use.
Named after Svante Arrhenius, the Swedish scientist who first speculated about fossil fuel emissions and the greenhouse effect, the Svante cluster is available for students, post-docs, and researchers affiliated with The Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change or The Center For Global Change Science.
