Computing Cluster

Computational physics plays an important role in physics education and research at Richmond. Students use the high-performance computing cluster, Spydur, in the Computational Physics class to perform Monte Carlo simulations and numerically solve complex problems. In addition to class use, students have used the cluster to complete independent research project as well as work with faculty on research projects.

 The University of Richmond continues to evolve its high-performance computing environments to match advancing needs and technology. In 2021 UR centralized much of its HPC capabilities with Spydur. You can learn more about Spydur here.
