High Performance Computing
ResearchIT manages the Nova cluster which consists of over 300 compute servers, including over 150 GPUs and over 12,000 CPU cores. The Nova cluster serves as the primary High Performance Computing resource for Iowa State University. Research IT manages all the compute, storage, and networking hardware of the cluster. This includes operating the Slurm workload management system, and installing and managing most of the software applications used by the researchers.
The cluster provides over 2PB of high speed storage.
Large Scale Storage
The Large Scale Storage system, also known as the LSS, is a high capacity storage system for researchers and other groups at Iowa State University. Research groups can purchase the amount of storage their projects require at a cost of $40 per terabyte (TB) per year.
