How to request a Hellbender account
What is Hellbender?
Hellbender is the latest High Performance Computing (HPC) resource available to researchers and students (with sponsorship by a PI) within the UM-System.
Hellbender consists of 208 mixed x86-64 CPU nodes (112 AMD, 96 Intel) providing 18,688 cores as well as 28 GPU nodes consisting of a mix of Nvidia GPU's (see hardware section for more details). Hellbender is attached to our Research Data Ecosystem ('RDE') that consists of 8PB of high performance and general purpose research storage. RDE can be accessible from other devices outside of Hellbender to create a single research data location across different computational environments.
A basic account is no cost for all MU researchers, faculty and sponsored students (by a PI).
