Try out NSF's ACCESS HPC
ACCESS is a NSF-funded program of HPC resources available for FREE though merit-based applications. You can easily test ACCESS HPC resources with Columbia's Discover Allocation, which CUIT's ACCESS representatives can readily approve. ACCESS is a great option if you want to try new resources (CPU, GPU), need to run jobs for more than SRCPAC's current 5-day maximum wall time, have a small project, or simply don't have an HPC budget.
