Explore the Nuts and Bolts of MSU's Supercomputer!

MSU’s supercomputer can perform four quadrillion math operations in a single second. One human working every second of every day would take over 128 million years to do the same! This massive speedup is critical for computational researchers from every discipline to conduct their work. The Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER) provides support and services for this cyberinfrastructure. Join ICER in exploring the supercomputing center in a virtual 360-degree tour that walks you through the critical hardware components, the impressive cooling system, the process of running applications, and more!
