STOKES HPC at UCF
STOKES, an IBM High Performance Computing cluster, is located at the University of Central Florida in Research Park. Researchers at the university are able to utilize this cluster and it is hoped that this opportunity will extend beyond the realm of UCF. The project is headed by Dr. Randall Shumaker and Dr. Brian Goldiez, with Sergio Tafur as the systems administrator.
