High Performance Computing (HPC) at Stanford

Our Stanford campus partners support several clusters to meet different research needs:

  • Sherlock: The primary research computing cluster, supporting a wide range of disciplines. Pre-installed with Gemini, Ollama, and Llama for AI/ML research.
  • Carina: Designed for projects that involve high-risk or sensitive data, providing a secure environment for compliance.
  • Marlowe: A large, high-performance, GPU-based computational instrument, charged per GPU/CPU-hour.
  • FarmShare: A teaching and training cluster for the Stanford community, widely used in classroom settings and introductory courses.
