Welcome
The Center
for High Performance Computing provides large scale
computer sources to facilitate advances in the field of
computational science at the University of Utah. CHPC is located
in the INSCC building and is responsible for the operation,
maintenance and upgrade of the facilities housed in INSCC.
The projects supported by CHPC come from a wide array of disciplines requiring large capacity computing resources, both for calculating the solutions of large-scale, two and three dimensional problems and for graphical visualization of the results.
The published results of research supported by CHPC facilities are maintained in the CHPC Bibliography (PDF). A dynamic list of resources and services are maintained in the CHPC List of Services

CHPC to Retire /scratch/parallel
Posted: April 30, 2008
Beginning May 1st CHPC will begin the process of retiring the filesystem mounted at /scratch/parallel. As previously announced, we will starting removing the mount of this filesystem on the compute nodes as jobs complete over the next week. Beginning May 1st, DO NOT submit jobs utilizing /scratch/parallel.
On May 9th, 2008 any remaining mounts of /scratch/parallel will be removed from all compute nodes. The filesystem will remain available on the interactive nodes until June 1st.
On June 1st, 2008 the filesystem will be retired. Please move data you wish to keep from the /scratch/parallel filesystem prior to June 1st.
CHPC will be exploring options for parallel filesystems and may deploy something for this purpose in the future.

Posted: April 15, 2008
We have upgraded MPICH2 (for Ethernet) on Arches to version 1.0.7. This is a minor upgrade and as such you should be able to use old executables with the new version. If problem occurs, please, rebuild your program (no changes in Makefiles, etc required). If that does not help, please, let us know.Arches Clusters back after failed hardware in network router
Posted: April 7, 2008
We had a supervisor card fail in our router for the clusters this morning. We were able to replace the failed hardware and get the router healthy again about 1 p.m. after which we reviewed the health of the nodes. Please let us know if you see any problems by sending email to issues@chpc.utah.edu
