Grant Information

The HPC cluster was funded by the state of Montana and is available for MUS researchers and educators. Montana Tech currently pays for system support. We hope current and future researchers will incorporate the facilities into their grant proposals to fund system expansion and future support.

You can use the HPC information below in your grant proposal:

Montana Tech has a 26-node high performance computing (HPC) cluster for faculty and student research use. The system includes 91 TB of storage for storing large data sets and simulation results. A part-time HPC Application Scientist is available to help new users get setup on the system and assist them in their computational research. The HPC system is remotely accessible through a VPN and available to all MUS faculty and students. The system is being used for a variety of projects from computational material modeling at the atomic level to grizzly bear population modeling in the greater Glacier National Park area. Software packages that are available for research and student use include COMSOL, Matlab, NAMD, LAMMPS, and R.
