MGHPCC

The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for computationally intensive research.

Consortium

MGHPCC is a collaboration among research-intensive universities - Boston University, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts.

MGHPCC is a collaboration among some of the most research-intensive universities in Massachusetts - Boston University, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts.

Racks

Computers at the MGHPCC run millions of virtual experiments every month supporting thousands of researchers in Massachusetts and around the world.

Cooling

The Center provides space, power, cooling, and high-speed connectivity, as well as contributing to a virtual commons for regional academic research computing.

Specs

The facility hosts 100s of 1000s of CPUs, millions of GPU cores, over 50PB of storage and 2 TB per sec of network access with connections to numerous campus, regional, and national networks (including Internet2 and ESNET, and high-speed links to cloud providers) with access speeds ranging from 10 to 100 gbps.

Satori

Since its inception in 2013, MGHPCC has been the home of many TOP500 machines, most recently Satori and TX-GAIA at MIT, and Cannon at Harvard.

Leeds

The facility received LEED Platinum Certification from the Green Building Council. The local municipal utility supplies energy more than 90% carbon-free, with more than 70% from local hydroelectric and solar sources.

The facility received LEED Platinum Certification, the highest level awarded by the Green Building Council. It is served by a municipal utility that derives more than 90% of its energy from carbon-free sources, with more than 70% from local hydroelectric and solar generation.

Collaborative Projects

Multiple collaborative projects have emerged from the research computing ecosystem with activities focussing variously around computing, storage, and data center and network infrastructure, but also the people who both use and facilitate the use of the various resources.

Connected Initiatives

Consistent with the broadening participation goals of its founding members, the MGHPCC is an active participant in multiple local, regional, and national education and outreach initiatives.

Engagement

Mindful of the importance of workforce development to the long-term economic future of the region, the MGHPCC and its founding universities work with local public schools, institutions of higher education, and community organizations to promote STEM and computer science literacy.
