Introduction to UCF's High-Performance Computing (ARCC Clusters)

Thursday, September 3, 2026 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Computational research can analyze models and/or data to reach new conclusions in faster ways or more complex scenarios. UCF has a 7,000+ core cluster for general-purpose computation for research across many fields of academic work, and a 54-node GPU cluster for specialized computation.

This workshop will review the capabilities of the UCF Advanced Research Computing Center in general, with a focus on the two clusters (known as Stokes and Newton). Storage system usage, job scheduling, account balancing, example Slurm script and job submission will be covered with a demonstration. The demonstration will include examples of job that uses only CPU or GPU on the clusters. A new web portal to access the clusters will also be shown. A brief introduction to the national (ACCESS) as well as state HPC cluster (HiPerGator) which are outside of UCF campus will also be shared.

Learning outcomes:
- Introduction to Stokes and Newton
- Process of requesting account
- Information of quota
- Demo of login and job submission
- Learn slurm script
- Demo of new web portal
