We are excited to share an important milestone in our university’s research computing journey. Over the past year, we have been hard at work modernizing our high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, services, and support team. Today, we are proud to announce the launch of our new HPC system, expanded service offerings, and a restructured HPC team—all designed to meet the evolving needs of our research community.
The new Juno HPC system
Juno, The University of Texas at Dallas’ new flagship HPC system, is now in General Access for all UTD faculty, students, and staff. Following successful Early Access and testing phases, Juno is now fully available to support the campus research community.
Juno features 77 compute nodes with 5,184 CPU cores, 32 terabytes of RAM and 12 NVIDIA GPUs. Juno is backed up by IO2, our high-speed, 2-petabyte storage system. IO2’s storage is split evenly between system needs (1 petabyte) and users (1 petabyte) for active compute-attached research data. Juno joins the existing Ganymede and Ganymede 2 HPC systems at UTD.
Learn more about Juno at our website, and account requests can be submitted through Atlas.
The new HPC services
To help our users make the most of Juno and other campus HPC resources, we are introducing a set of new services designed to meet researchers where they are.
- Introduction to HPC: Introduction to researchers who are considering using HPC resources to accelerate their computing workloads
- Orientation: Sessions give an overview of the HPC system, logging in, managing data, compiling and running programs, managing batch jobs, and understanding parallel processing
- Onboarding: Hands-on session from first login to running your first program on the HPC systems
- Code porting assistance: Support for adapting research code to run on HPC systems
- Parallel programming consultations: Introduction to parallelization of research codes
Whether you are new to HPC or scaling up an established research workflow, our team is here to support your success. Learn more about HPC services in the Atlas services catalog.
HPC@UTD
The High Performance Computing for Research and Education (HPCRE) team is jointly established in 2024 by the Office of Research and Innovation and Office of Information Technology. Informally known as HPC@UTD, we offer the systems and resources with facilitation services to give our faculty, students, and the research community everything they need for their high performance computing needs.
Our mission: Provide The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) research community with cutting-edge high-performance computing services that promote and advance the research and education mission of the University.
You can learn more about the HPC team at our website.
You can request HPC services from the Atlas service catalog. Please contact us at hpc@utdallas.edu with any questions about Juno, HPC services, or how we can support your research computing needs.
