The Center for High Performance Computing

The University of Utah's Center for High Performance Computing provides large-scale computer systems, networking, and the expertise to optimize the use of these high-end technologies. CHPC facilitates advance in academic disciplines whose computational requirements exceed the resources available in individual colleges or departments. Since 1996 these collaborations have resulted in more than 494 technical publications. CHPC's purview is to support faculty and research groups whose main focus requires computing and advanced networking as core instrument(s) central to their research. For detailed information on CHPC activities for 2007-2008 please see our CHPC 2009 Report (PDF).
