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.
- 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.
