Computational Infusion for Missouri Undergraduate Science and Engineering (CIMUSE)
For the past four years, a dedicated team of university faculty, supercomputer professionals, and networking specialists has been working to bridge the gap between Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) and high-performance computing (HPC).
What began as a planning grant administered by MOREnet has evolved into a strong statewide partnership. Following the initial planning phase, a follow-on grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) led to the creation of CIMUSE. This collaborative effort, composed of several Missouri universities, is supported by MOREnet and the University of Missouri Research Support Services team.
Today, CIMUSE provides Missouri PUIs with the specialized infrastructure needed to process large-scale data and perform complex calculations far beyond the capacity of standard hardware.
The collaborative group maintains a 20-node high-performance computing cluster housed at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The goal is to continue to bring the supercomputing experience directly to undergraduate STEM students through classroom instruction and research.
Supercomputing as Part of Undergraduate Curriculum
Please join us as we discuss the upcoming Computational Infusion for Missouri Undergraduate Science and Engineering (CIMUSE) workshop on integrating supercomputing into the undergraduate curriculum. You’ll meet the project organizers, learn about how it all works, and get a quick demonstration of how easy it is to access the supercomputer.
