PPPL Research Computing
Introduction
PPPL's Research Computing Center provides batch job and
interactive scientific computing for PPPL, Princeton graduate
school programs located at PPPL, and the fusion community. It
processes parallel computing, single CPU, as well as
multi-CPU shared memory jobs in a variety of sub clusters.
The design goals of the center are high performance, ease of
use, and support for the mid to small size jobs not favored by
the large leadership computing sites.
