Temple offers three high performance computing Linux environments to provide university researchers sufficient computing power to do their intensive data analysis.

• Owl's Nest (owlsnest.hpc.temple.edu)
• Compute (compute.temple.edu)
• Machine Learning (gpu.hpc.temple.edu & dgx-1.hpc.temple.edu)

Use of this environment is restricted to those users with significant computational and/or large data manipulation needs.
The HPC is designed to meet the needs of the following:

• Faculty, staff, graduate and professional students with a current AccessNet account requiring high end computing functionality
• Undergraduate students with faculty sponsorship requiring high end computational functionality
• Authorized guests from other research institutions working in collaboration with university employees

Compute

Compute is a collection of large high-performance, shared memory compute servers for interactive use. These multi-socket machines host up to 88 Intel Xeon (Cascade Lake) CPU cores and 1.5TB of RAM. They provide access to various licensed software packages (MATLAB, SAS, STATA) and many open-source packages (R, RStudio, Sage Math, Apache Spark). All servers share the same user home directories which provides a total capacity of 0.5PB. EDR InfiniBand (100GB/s) is used to interconnect all machines.

Noether

This was a math-phys computational server (noether.cst.temple.edu) that has been decomissioned since May 2020.
