The U of A UITS (formerly CCIT) group maintains High Performance Computing systems for use in research applications. A shared memory supercomputer (marin) and a Linux cluster (ICE) are available for running jobs requiring a large amount of memory, parallel processing, and certain visualization and scientific applications.  ICE (Integrated Computing Environment) is a large cluster of Silicon Graphics Altix machines (8 cpus per node); for more details see: http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/altix/ice/.  The UA News article http://uanews.org/node/20578 discusses the HPC systems, including their world ranking in terms of power and "green-ness". Other HPC systems are described here: http://www.hpc.arizona.edu

** NOTE: All BIO5 researchers are encouraged to take advantage of the availability of high priority CPU hours resulting from dedicated ICE cluster compute nodes funded by a TRIF grant (see below for details).
