The University of Kentucky operates a High Performance Computing complex in support of its research and teaching missions. Located in McVey Hall, the complex is built from  a large cluster of commodity servers, a group of large Shared Memory Processor (SMP) machines, a high speed interconnect, a large unified file system, and a mass storage system.

The current IBM BCX cluster and pSeries complex were installed early in 2007. In June, 2007, the BCX cluster was ranked #66 on the Top500 Supercomputers list. See www.Top500.com for current information.

More information about High Performance Computing at the University of Kentucky, including policy and account information, is available on the Supercomputing web site.

The IT staff also runs and administers other High Performance Computing clusters and facilities to support specific departments and projects.

The University of Kentucky Center for Computational Sciences is a major center for computational activity at the University of Kentucky. For more information, see their web site at www.ccs.uky.edu.
