HPC (High Performance Computing)
Do you have a research or class project you’re working on and your laptop/desktop aren’t up for the job? Are you running stuff for days in R on your local computer and it cannot handle the dataset that you’re using?
What is HPC?
- The Hazel High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster is a shared system that helps researchers and students run computational work that is too large, too time-consuming, or too complex for a typical desktop or lab server. HPC enables faster turnaround, larger models, and the ability to run many analyses in support of research and instruction across a broad range of disciplines.
Prerequisites:
Students cannot get access on their own, faculty member must initiate access see the HPC Wiki below on how to initiate.
ARE has purchased our own node on our NCSU HPC cluster, which means that anyone added to our group will always have access to this machine regardless if you are able to reserve a machine on HPC cluster or not. You do not need access to the HPC node to use NCSU HPC, it is a shared resource amongst NCSU users.
Stata Now 19 has been loaded onto HPC, in order to gain access to the module, please use the Stata 19 HPC (ARE) Access Form if you would like access to either ARE HPC node or Stata 19 module.

HPC Wiki – Special thanks to Raymond Guiteras for putting this together for our users. Highly recommended for reading if you’re not familiar
HPC Announcements Google Group – highly recommended to join this group/listserv as a lot of updates to the cluster are sent to this list if you use NCSU HPC.
