Holland Computing Center
The Holland Computing Center, often abbreviated to the HCC, is a high performance computing resource for the University of Nebraska System. The HCC has locations in both the University of Nebraska-Lincoln June and Paul Schorr III Center for Computer Science & Engineering and the University of Nebraska Omaha Peter Kiewit Institute.[1] The center was named after Omaha businessman Richard Holland who donated considerably to the university for the project.[2]
Both locations provide various research computing services and hardware. The retrofitted facilities at the PKI location include the Firefly Supercomputer[3] which “is used by scientists and engineers to study topics such as nanoscale chemistry, subatomic physics, meteorology, crashworthiness, and artificial intelligence.”[4] Other resources include "Tusker" for shared memory processing and "Red" for LHC grid computing.
