In today's compute-intensive research environment, it is important to have resources that are able to perform particular tasks. ARCC provides users with The Teton Compute Environment, which is a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster with over 500 compute nodes that allow researches to perform computation-intensive analysis on large datasets. Built-in tools and the ability to request custom tools allow users to fine-tune their research procedures and have control over their data, projects, and collaborators. **ADD SOMETHING ABOUT LOREN.
Loren is a GPU based HPC cluster, it is a specialty HPC cluster used by Dr. Piri’s research group, the High Bay Research Group.

Overview
As research becomes more compute-intensive, ARCC has made high performance compute a core service. This core service is currently being performed by The Teton Compute Environment, allowing researchers to perform computation-intensive analysis on large datasets. Using Teton, researchers have control over their data, projects, and collaborators. Built-in tools help users get up and running in a short amount of time, and the ability to request custom tools allows users to fine-tune their research procedures.

Finally, individual jobs occur runtime limits based on a study that was performed in ~2014 such that our maximum walltime for a compute job is 7 days. ARCC is currently evaluating this to determine whether the orthogonal limits of CPU count and walltime are optimal operational modes. ARCC is considering concurrent usage limits based on a relational combination of CPU count, Memory, and walltime that would allow more flexibility for different areas of science. There will likely still be an upper limit on individual compute job walltime as ARCC will not allow infinite job walltime and due to possible hardware faults.
HPC Clusters
Teton
The Teton Compute Environment, or Teton for short, is a high performance computing (HPC) cluster with over 500 compute nodes and a high performance data storage system. Teton was preceded by UWyo’s first community HPC cluster, Mount Moran, which went into service in 2012. The second generation of HPC at UWyo, Teton, first went into service in 2018 and is available to all research interests at UWyo. With over 1.2 PB of storage, Teton can accommodate some of the largest datasets.
