ESF faculty and students may obtain access to more robust computing resources as needed for research purposes. ESF has a limited on-premise workstations and a shared pool of virtual machine space that can be provisioned as needed for a scheduled period of time. SU compute resources can also be made accessible after a conversation concering need and usage restrictions. Please see below for further details.
ESF Infrastructure
- Research Virtual Computers
- Windows or Linux
- More oomph than standard workstations
- Shared pool of resources
- Expanded Storage on local Network (not just one kind)
- General support for network connectivity, software installation, and remote access
- Workstation access: Geospatial Lab in Marshall Hall
- Contact Ellen White or Jean Yang in LA for access
Research group leaders/PIs can request access via helpdesk@esf.edu. The request should include the following information:
- The names (e.g. FQDN or Computer/Device name) of the workstation that needs to be accessed
- Hardware/Software needs of research
- ESF Email addresses of people who need access to the named systems
- The location of the systems (building, room, position within the rooms
- Telephone number where the requester can be reached for questions
- Time frame for the request. Open ended requests cannot be accommodated
Syracuse University Infrastructure (https://researchcomputing.syr.edu)
- Multiple clusters: OrangeGrid HTC, Zest HPC, SUrge GPU cluster
- Requires an active SU Net ID (@syr credentials)
- Resources are Linux-based systems
- All clusters perform by script submission, no direct console access to run scripts
- Support for access, software installation/access, submission scripting
- Currently no charge back to researchers (ESF or SU)
Please make all requests made to CNS that cannot be met locally will be passed on to SU ITS at researchcomputing@syr.edu to setup a meeting to discuss resources. Researchers using SU research computing resources should copy helpdesk@esf.edu on any follow-up communications with SU.
