Overview

The Heterogeneous Computing Environment at the College of Computing (HCE@CoC), also known as the Futurama cluster, is an Instructional cluster for student and faculty use. The cluster is intended for Academic objectives, and its use for sponsored Research is currently prohibited.

The cluster is currently in a soft-launch phase with a limited number of classes and users added to the access list. If you are interested in joining during this early phase, please reach out to academicresources@cc.gatech.edu. Please note that cluster availability and stability may be unpredictable as new features and configurations are implemented.
