Welcome to the homepage of HPCI (High Peformance Computing Initiative) @ Louisiana Tech univeristy. We provide high performance computing needs for the Louisiana Tech Univeristy community to enable research and innovation.

High Performance Computing Initiative (HPCI) is Tech campus-wide initiative to promote HPC and enable our local R&D community with our own supercomputing facility. HPCI provides various highly computational infrastructure and several supporting staffs. HPCI
is made possible by Intel equipment donation and  University Research funds.

“The term high performance computing (HPC) refers to the use of (parallel) supercomputers and computer clusters, that is, computing systems comprised of multiple (usually mass-produced) processors linked together in a single system with commercially available interconnects. This is in contrast to mainframe computers, which are generally monolithic in nature. While a high level of technical skill is undeniably needed to assemble and use such systems, they can be created from off-the-shelf components. Because of their flexibility, power, and relatively low cost, HPC systems increasingly dominate the world of supercomputing. Usually, computer systems in or above the teraflop-region are counted as HPC-computers. ” – From Wikipedia
