Blanca HPC
Blanca High-Performance Compute Nodes (HPC) are the newest addition to the suite of nodes currently available to Blanca contributors. The HPC nodes are designed to support low-latency InfiniBand for Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication. This form of parallel computing allows discrete nodes to communicate during a distributed computation. This allows contributors to run multi-node distributed parallel computing jobs. Currently, the National Solar Observatory, the Aerospace Mechanics Research Center (AMReC), and Research Computing have contributed HPC nodes to Blanca.
