Computing Resources

Overview

Our research makes extensive use of local and national computing and supercomputing resources.

The UWM mortimer supercomputer features 3,920 Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen processing cores, 52 TB of RAM, ~2 PB of RAID storage, and multiple GPUs. Our group has a dedicated 90 TB of RAID storage on mortimer. Our research group uses mortimer for the bulk of our moderately intensive numerical simulations.

Our group’s research has also made and/or currently makes use of national-level resources at NCAR (yellowstone, cheyenne, and HPSS) and through XSEDE/ACCESS (comet, wrangler, jetstream, and expanse). These resources have been used to support collaborative research with investigators at other institutions and for Prof. Evans’ graduate-level Numerical Weather Prediction course.
