Subject: [research] High Performance Computing partnership with NCShare
To: research <group-r...@appstate.edu>
The platform is hosted in an MCNC data center, which allows for fast transfers of large data sets between institutions. In the coming weeks, NCShare will begin to enable access to 32 NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, further enhancing the capability to deal with heavy compute jobs, including machine learning and LLM training. Access is available for student use in the classroom and for faculty researchers.
The Systems and Research Computing (SRC) team in App State’s ITS division is looking for faculty partners to identify appropriate workloads for the platform. Currently, common analytical tools such as R/RStudio, Python and JupyterLabs are available ‘out of the box’. SRC has already been working with several early adopters to train them on using the system and deploying other applications.
If you have research or coursework that could benefit from resources offered, submit a Research Computing Request support ticket or email its...@appstate.edu.
We are excited to offer access to this platform and look forward to seeing what can be accomplished with it.
Thanks,
The Systems and Research Computing team
