  • Cluster Challenge: Purdue, ITaP student supercomputing team does well

    John Blaas and Andrew Huff, designated system administrators for Purdue’s student supercomputing team, didn’t see much of Seattle this week but it wasn’t like they slept through their trip to the Cluster Challenge, the student competition at SC11, th...

  • Hansen MPI Software Changes - December 16, 2011

    As a follow up to our earlier tip describing the optimal MPI for computations on Hansen, we are undertaking an effort to reduce the number of maintained MPI implementations. This will make it easier for you, the user, to identify and use the best MPI...

  • New Carter community cluster will be available to faculty in the spring

    A new cutting-edge research supercomputing cluster will be available for use by Purdue faculty and their students in the spring of 2012 and should allow campus researchers to tackle larger problems and get more detailed results faster than ever befor...

  • Free, fast BLAST processing now available on Purdue’s DiaGrid system

    BLAST, the popular bioinformatics software, is now available to Purdue faculty and their students on Purdue’s DiaGrid distributed computing system, which can make thousands of processors available at once for BLAST jobs — at no cost to users. ITaP al...

  • New Carter cluster is one of the greenest, as well as fastest, in the world

    Purdue’s new Carter supercomputer ranks 38th on the latest Green500 list of the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world, making it one of the greenest systems as well as one of the world’s most powerful. Carter placed 54th on the latest TOP...

  • Apply for computational time on TeraGrid by January 15, 2010 (by 12:00 Midnight submitter's local time)

    National Science Foundation prepares for transition to eXtreme Digital generation of cyberinfrastructure Purdue researchers needing assistance in applying for a TeraGrid allocation can contact Kim Dillman, Purdue’s TeraGrid Campus Champion. Dillman’s...

  • ITaP surveying faculty and staff about research computing needs and new supercomputer

    ITaP is planning a new community cluster to be built this spring and is gathering information about what Purdue faculty and staff may need either as a part of the new cluster or in computers for departmental or individual use. The combined purchase a...

  • HUBzero open source release is a hub-in-a-box, without the box

    When Purdue Professor Ashlie Martini wants to explain how force variations cause ribbon-like protein molecules to change shape, which governs their myriad of functions in the body, she can bring up the Web site nanoHUB.org and a Web-based application...

  • ITaP taking orders for new research supercomputing cluster

    Orders for the new Rossmann community cluster are now being taken by ITaP. ITaP’s Rosen Center for Advanced Computing plans to build the new cluster in July. The plan calls for the supercomputer to be in production in August. The new cluster will fea...

  • Purdue's partnership for building research supercomputers wins international award

    Purdue is being recognized as a worldwide campus technology innovator for the ITaP-led Community Cluster Program, a partnership with faculty researchers that provides more computing power at a better price and puts it to work on research projects alm...

  • ITaP activates new research supercomputing cluster, space still available

    That rocket engines and pipe organs have something in common may not seem intuitive, but both blow acoustic waves through a tube. This can result in beautiful music or, in the case of an engine, operating inefficiencies, even catastrophe. Charles Mer...

  • Divide and conquer: distributed graphics rendering

    Rendering frames in a complex animation can tie up workstations for days or weeks. A two-minute animation at 30 frames per second will typically take over 100 hours to render on a single computer. Sharing the load among hundreds or even thousands of...

  • Purdue, IU consortium aims to drive new era for research, education online

    A powerful Web platform that allows scientists to share research modeling tools, presentations and experimental findings is the focus of a new partnership between Purdue and Indiana universities. Purdue is launching a consortium for joint development...

  • Survey asks Purdue researchers what they want in new computer system

    Purdue researchers are being asked for feedback on the features they need in a new supercomputing cluster planned by Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP) and the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing. The Rosen Center plans to build the new communit...

  • ITaP offers Purdue researchers fast, reliable, secure data storage

    Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP) is now offering no-hassle data storage in the same way its community cluster program helps faculty members do research using high-performance computing — that is, without having to worry about running a compute...

  • New TeraGrid Campus Champion making Purdue researchers an

    A “people person” with a background in helping users take advantage of high-performance computing resources whose job already focuses on assisting researchers in using the TeraGrid—you couldn’t ask for a better description of a good TeraGrid Campus C...

  • Purdue TeraGrid staff and students present at CondorWeek 2009

    Condor Week is a four-day annual gathering of Condor developers, collaborators and users at the home of the Condor development team: University of Wisconsin, Madison. This is a well-attended forum where researchers and practitioners exchange ideas an...

  • ITaP taking orders for new research supercomputing cluster and individual systems

    Orders for nodes in the new Coates community cluster are now being taken by Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP). This also is an opportunity for departments or individuals purchasing computing equipment for use outside the cluster to take advanta...

  • Encore to ITaP's first supercomputer barn-raising is even better than the original

    Last year ITaP staff and a small army of volunteers had the Steele supercomputer built by noon. The anticipation was that the new Coates cluster would take longer. Coates is a larger project and it required installing special network cards. Then, the...

  • ITaP interns get real experience with research and technology, graduate student life

    ITaP summer research intern Lutalo Webb already knew he would be back when he arrived at Purdue. The May engineering graduate from Vanderbilt University had applied and been accepted for graduate school in West Lafayette. But the time he's spent an...
