Supercomputing
The Department of Astronomy is among the most active users of Zaratan, UMD’s flagship cluster. Zaratan was built in 2022 and can facilitate even large computing projects (see the UMD HPC website for updated specs). The astronomy department has a large annual allocation (currently about 30 million CPU hours), which we share on a fair-use basis. We also maintain an in-house network of astronomy machines, including a smaller computing server called astra to which students have preferential access.
