High Performance Computing at GW is an ecosystem of computing services for the University’s research community. This ecosystem consists of:
- Pegasus, a shared high-performance computing cluster. Pegasus is the George Washington University’s shared and cross-discipline high performance computing cluster; providing the latest in Supercomputing technology and tools to the University.
- Cerberus, a teaching cluster specifically designed for classroom use. Containing many of the same technologies that can be found on Pegasus but on a smaller scale.
- An experimental and still developing, high throughput computing cluster.
At its core, GW's HPC resources have traditional operations staff such as system and network administrators, but it also has staff from each of the major school contributors that aid in other areas of expertise including parallel code profiling and optimization. These platforms advance the George Washington University 's research mission by delivering cutting-edge computing resources and world-class subject matter expertise to investigators and technology developers across the university.
HPC at GW is managed by professional staff in GW Information Technology, with university-sponsored computational staff focused in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Public Health and School of Medicine and Health sciences.
