High Performance Computing
We host, maintain and support several in-house HPC resources for use by the UW research
community and collaborators:
- MedicineBow
- The MedicineBow Compute Environment (AKA MedicineBow) is ARCC's newest HPC cluster.
Released to UW July of 2024, MedicineBow has enhanced GPU offerings to enable research
in key areas including AI, machine and deep learning, and complex modeling.
- The cluster currently consists 25 96-core CPU nodes, and partitions consisting of
A30, L40S, and SXM5 H100 GPU nodes.
- The MedicineBow Hardware Summary table provides detailed information about the hardware makeup of this cluster.
- MedicineBow HPC operates under the condo paradigm
- Operating within the condo structure, MedicineBow computational resources are often available to UW researchers at no cost.
- Beyond standard access to the cluster, UW researchers can choose to invest in hardware
to gain priority access.
- OnDemand offers easy-to-use portal to Medicinebow, providing user's access to the cluster
through a web browser)
- Given the wide set of use cases supported by the MedicineBow cluster, both the Beartooth
and WildIris clusters will be consolidated into MedicineBow by EOY 2024.
- Beartooth
- The Beartooth Compute Environment (AKA Beartooth) is ARCC's prior generation HPC cluster
with roughly ~300 compute nodes and 1.2 PB of storage.
- By the end of 2024, most Beartooth nodes will be consolidated into MedicineBow and
the Beartooth HPC system will be decommissioned.
- Loren
- A Specialty GPU based HPC cluster for exclusive use by the Center of Innovation for
Flow through Porous Media Research Group
