The Sharif High-Performance Computing (HPC) Center is a state-of-the-art computational facility located at the Information and Communication Technology Center (ICTC) of Sharif University. This system features over 1,000 computing nodes interconnected via a high-speed network.
Service pricing at Sharif HPC Center is calculated based on factors such as processor type, memory capacity, usage time, and additional resources required by the user.
To request services from Sharif HPC Center, visit the ICTC website and register. After registration, access the university’s HPC portal to submit your request for heavy computing resources. Once submitted, experts at the ICTC will review your request. If approved, the necessary credits will be added to your HPC account. These credits can then be used to access Sharif HPC services.
To proceed, install the HPC Manager software on your computer. This software allows you to connect to the center, execute your projects, and conduct research.
Certain computations are too complex to process on standard computers. Research institutions use supercomputers to simulate experiments and process extensive datasets. These machines comprise thousands of processing units and are capable of handling the most intricate data. Typical applications include quantum physics problems, weather forecasting, molecular modeling, aircraft simulation, nuclear weapon simulations, and more.
Supercomputers are indispensable for simulating experiments and processing complex data.
The key services provided by the Sharif HPC Center are as follows:
The Kara Virtual Machine is a cloud-based service that provides users with a virtual machine offering full administrative access. This virtual machine can be utilized for various tasks, such as heavy data processing, software development, scientific, and engineering computations.
The Kara Virtual Machine is suitable for heavy data processing, software development, and scientific computations.
Sharif HPC Center provides integrated, cluster-based processing services on a Linux operating system platform. These services are ideal for users requiring low-cost, highly flexible computational resources.
Users can create accounts online through the portal and submit tasks to the cluster scheduler.
Tasks are executed based on the “first come, first served” principle. During high-demand periods, tasks may be queued for execution.
