The Keck Computational Research Cluster
The Keck Computational Research Cluster is the premier computational resource available to Chapman researchers. Located in the Keck Center for Science and Engineering and extending into multiple public clouds, it provides CPU and GPU processing for research workloads of all kinds.
Cluster Summary (for grant applications):
“The Keck College High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster is available for researchers to run compute intensive, large memory programs quickly and efficiently. Located in Chapman University's Keck Center for Science & Engineering, the cluster contains over 590 Intel Xeon compute cores, 2.7TB of RAM, and direct access to all-flash and disk-storage SAN arrays. 16 Nvidia TESLA V100 cards are available for workloads that benefit from GPU accelerated processing. Access and management of the cluster and associated applications is supported by the University's IS&T Research Computing team.”
