In the spring of 2004, Academic Computing launched the High Performance Computing (HPC) for Undergraduate Education pilot project with the objectives of: assessing the educational values of HPC clusters, identifying support requirements to provide reliable and effective service, and exploring the use of computational tools for undergraduate teaching. This presentation will review where the project stands and will report on HPC clusters' usage.
