Research Computing Examples

High Throughput Computing (HTC)

Large amounts of comp. power over a "long" time:
- Running long jobs!
- Running the same experiment many (1000s) times, with different inputs.

High Performance Computing (HPC)

Large amounts of comp. power over a "short" time:
- many CPUs simultaneously to run complex models quicker.
Many compute-nodes' RAM simultaneously to handle very big jobs.
