Scientific discovery, analysis, and prediction made possible through
high performance computing.
• State of the art supercomputers with 24/7 accessibility
• Petascale storage infrastructure provides backup, swift access, and retrieval of archived data
• Emphasis on the Arctic
• ARSC supports university scientists who use high-performance computing (HPC) to conduct research
• Climate and weather modeling, ice sheet modeling, oceans physical and ecological systems
HPC at ARSC
Fish• Cray XK6m-200
Supercomputer
• 1152 AMD Opteron CPU cores and 48 NVIDIA Tesla GPU processors
• Art work by UAF student Yumi Kawaguchi
Pacman• Penguin Computing cluster
• 2,816 AMD Opteron processors
• NSF infrastructure grant to support Pacific Area Climate Monitoring and Analysis Network: PACMAN
• Researchers in Alaska and Hawaii
Long Term Storage Silo
IBM TS3500 Tape Library,“Galaga”
• 1,800 3592JC tape cartridges with 7.2 petabytes of raw capacity equal to…7,200,000,000,000,000 bytes!
• 400 LTO-4 tape cartridges with 320 terabytes of raw capacity.
Arctic Collaborative Environment (ACE)
• ACE provides a web-based, open-access, Arctic-focused, environmental research and decision-support system
• ACE enables local, regional, and international cooperation and coordination on long-term environmental planning and near-term actions in response to climatic and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic Region
