The program\u2019s services are managed by OIT\u2019s Academic \u0026amp; Research Technologies department and include physical hosting, system management infrastructure, high-speed scratch storage, home directory space, commodity networking, and common HPC software such as RedHat Enterprise Linux, VASP, LAMMPS, BLAST, Matlab, Mathematica, and Ansys Fluent. Various compilers, math libraries and other middleware is available for those who author their own codes. All of these resources are designed and offered with the specific intention of combining intellect with efficiency, in order to advance the research presence here at Tech to the peak of its abilities.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are many ways to participate with PACE. With a common infrastructure, we support clusters dedicated to individual PIs or research groups, clusters that are shared amongst participants and our FoRCE Research Computing Environment (aka \u201cThe FoRCE\u201d). The FoRCE is available to all campus users via a merit-based proposal mechanism.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe April 30 HPC Town Hall is open to members of the Tech research community and will feature presentations on the successes and challenges that PACE is currently experiencing, followed by a panel discussion and Q\u0026amp;A.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information on the PACE program, visit the official website at \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.pace.gatech.edu\u0022 title=\u0022www.pace.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ewww.pace.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E, and also the program\u2019s blog at blog.pace.gatech.edu.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27572","created_gmt":"2013-04-05 09:24:22","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:59","author":"Kim MacLeod","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-04-05T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2013-04-05T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"174291","name":"OIT"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
