Our Mission
UA High Performance Computing (HPC) is an interdisciplinary research center focused on facilitating research and discoveries that advance science and technology. We deploy and operate advanced computing and data resources for the research activities of students, faculty, and staff at the University of Arizona. We also provide consulting, technical documentation, and training to support our users.
This site is divided into sections that describe the High Performance Computing (HPC) resources that are available, how to use them, and the rules for use.
Quick News
It is time to move from Python2 to Python3. We will not be updating the Python module version 2.7.14, but it will not be removed until required, for example by a security exposure.
Anaconda is now available as a module. It expands the capability of Jupyter with Jupyter Labs; includes RStudio, and the Conda ecosystem. We recommend you access it through OnDemand and the Ocelote Desktop. See these instructions.
- Singularity 3.4.2 is installed as the latest version. The prior version 3.2.1 will be removed at some time. The main new feature is support for building and running encrypted containers. Release notes
