H2P Cluster Hardware Resources
H2P (Hail to Pitt) is the main cluster at the Center for Research Computing. H2P supports these high-performance computing modes
- MPI: distributed computing across nodes using the Message Passing Interface
- SMP: shared memory processing on a single node
- GPU: accelerated computing using Graphic Processing Units
- VIZ: GUI interface
