Welcome
The UMBC High Performance Computing Facility is the community-based, interdisciplinary core facility for scientific computing and research on parallel algorithms at UMBC. Started in 2008 by more than 20 researchers from ten academic departments and research centers from all academic colleges at UMBC, it is supported by faculty contributions, federal grants, and the UMBC administration.
Since HPCF’s inception, over 400 users have benefited from its computing clusters, including undergraduate and graduate students. The users have generated over 400 publications, including 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals (including Nature, Science, and other top-tier journals in their fields), 50 refereed conference papers, and 50 theses. The facility is open to UMBC researchers at no charge.
Researchers can contribute funding for long-term priority access. Administration and maintenance is provided by the UMBC Division of Information Technology (DoIT) advised by the faculty-run Shared Infrastructure Governance committee, and users have access to consulting support provided by dedicated team organized under the Research Computing Group of DoIT.
The UMBC HPCF currently consists of one HPC cluster, chip .
