The College of Staten Island High Performance Computing Center (CUNY HPCC) provides CUNY faculty, researchers, and students with state-of-the-art computing resources: large parallel clusters, GPU nodes, fast interconnects, high-performance file systems, and the expertise to use them. CUNY HPCC operates as part of the wider CUNY-HPCC consortium and also provides CUNY users with allocations on EMPIRE-AI. This site is the primary documentation and educational guide for using those systems.
