For research needs that use high-performance computing for data analysis, GW has implemented three clusters: Pegasus, a shared high-performance computing cluster; Cerberus, a cluster for teaching in the classroom and lastly a high throughput computing cluster. All three clusters are managed by professional staff in GW Information Technology, with university-sponsored computational staff focused in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Public Health and School of Medicine and Health sciences.

Access to HPC resources are open to the university community for research, academic classroom use, and students.

For help, please contact your local support partner, or email  hpchelp@gwu.edu
