Scientific discovery, analysis, and prediction made possible through

high performance computing.

• State of the art supercomputers with 24/7 accessibility

• Petascale storage infrastructure provides backup, swift access, and retrieval of archived data

• Emphasis on the Arctic

• ARSC supports university scientists who use high-performance computing (HPC) to conduct research

• Climate and weather modeling, ice sheet modeling, oceans physical and ecological systems

HPC at ARSC

Fish• Cray XK6m-200

Supercomputer

• 1152 AMD Opteron CPU cores and 48 NVIDIA Tesla GPU processors

• Art work by UAF student Yumi Kawaguchi

Pacman• Penguin Computing cluster

• 2,816 AMD Opteron processors

• NSF infrastructure grant to support Pacific Area Climate Monitoring and Analysis Network: PACMAN

• Researchers in Alaska and Hawaii

Long Term Storage Silo

IBM TS3500 Tape Library,“Galaga”

• 1,800 3592JC tape cartridges with 7.2 petabytes of raw capacity equal to…7,200,000,000,000,000 bytes!

• 400 LTO-4 tape cartridges with 320 terabytes of raw capacity.

Arctic Collaborative Environment (ACE)

• ACE provides a web-based, open-access, Arctic-focused, environmental research and decision-support system

• ACE enables local, regional, and international cooperation and coordination on long-term environmental planning and near-term actions in response to climatic and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic Region
