Welcome to Smith College CATS High Performance Computing cluster
High-performance computing (HPC) aggregates the resources from individual computers (known as nodes) into a cluster that works together to perform advanced, specialized computing jobs. The Computing & Technical Services (CATS) group launched its HPC cluster in 2019 with 4 compute nodes. Over the years we’ve added 8 more compute nodes, a RAM node with 1.5TB of RAM and a GPU node. For more information on HPC and current list of HPC resources see our HPC specs page. If you are interested in using the Unity Cluster please contact CATS and/or Jordan Crouser.
- Use of the HPC cluster at Smith is open to all faculty, staff, and students at Smith for research and class use. Students must have a faculty advisor request access for them.
- Requesting an account can be done by emailing cats-s@smith.edu with a description of your needs/research and any software needed.
