HPC Systems

ARCC HPC

ARCC offers several HPC systems for researchers at the University of Wyoming (Uwyo) and their collaborators. This core service is performed primarily over the on-campus HPC systems Medicinebow and GannettPeak. However ARCC maintains a number of specialty HPC resources for special use cases. ARCC maintained resources are listed below and links provided for more detailed information. Additionally ARCC has relationships with external HPC resource providors to enable UWyo researchers with support on these external HPC Resources including allocations on NCAR Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) and Argone National Lab Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF).

  • MedicineBow

    MedicineBow is ARCC's current flagship HPC system. It is a heterogenous cluster with many different hardware configurations to meet a variety of research workflows. Including AMD and Intel CPUs and a variety of NVIDIA CPU nodes.
