Overview
UCSF provides robust, scalable infrastructure to support complex computational and data-intensive biomedical research.
Our mission is to deliver accessible, collaborative high-performance computing (HPC) resources that empower UCSF researchers across biomedical and health sciences. This includes existing platforms such as the Wynton cluster and the upcoming CoreHPC environment.
We foster the growth and effective utilization of institutional HPC resources through cooperative contributions and shared access. This approach ensures continuous expansion of compute power and resources available to all UCSF researchers.
Offerings
Wynton @ UCSF
Shared Co-op HPC Cluster:
- Wynton is a large, community-funded HPC cluster supported by UCSF and key research groups.
Co-Op Resource Contribution Model:
- Access to Wynton is available to all researchers, with priority granted to groups that contribute additional compute capacity.
CoreHPC - Coming Soon
AI and Data Science Focus:
- CoreHPC is a GPU-heavy, high-performance computing cluster designed to support AI, data science, and other demanding workflows.
Facility for Advanced Computing (FAC) Co-hosting:
- CoreHPC will be co-located with FAC, enabling seamless interoperability between capacity storage and compute resources.
Condominium Resource Contribution Model:
- Basic cluster access is available through an access model with limited recharge. Researchers may also buy into additional capacity by purchasing dedicated nodes (“condos”) with a service life of approximately five years, paying a modest annual maintenance and access fee.
Tailored Computing Environments:
- Custom computing profiles, datasets, and software packages tailored to diverse biomedical and health science research needs will be offered, enabling researchers to work in optimized environments.
