Clemson's Supercomputer
Clemson University has one of the top supercomputers at a public institution: the Palmetto Cluster (PC). The PC makes use of more than 23,000 CPU cores. Any Clemson faculty, staff or student can register for an account and use the Palmetto Cluster free – a perk that puts Clemson students at an advantage.
