OARC’s High-Performance Computing Systems group is here to help you perform research on Hoffman2, UCLA’s shared high-performance computing (HPC) cluster. We are experts in the interaction between applications, software operating systems, and hardware in the cluster environment. We can consult with you on your computing needs, including optimizing code, running jobs, and working with large data sets on the cluster. We also operate the Hoffman2 storage infrastructure and research network.
