HPC Dashboard
A living public research view of New Mexico's advanced-computing constellation. Verified public infrastructure is separated from the strategic hypothesis: connect appropriate workloads, people and research pathways while preserving institutional missions, security boundaries and access rules.

From notebook to national science
TIER 0
Workstation · Python · local prototyping.
TIER 1
Accessible notebooks, containers and modest GPU development.
TIER 2
University HPC under institutional eligibility and policy.
TIER 3
Regional, NSF and DOE research infrastructure.
TIER 4
National-lab collaboration only where mission, sponsorship and authorization permit.
Fire
Wildfire scenario modeling and resilience.
Energy
Resilient systems and scenario optimization.
Trusted AI
Security and human-accountable autonomy.
Combine authoritative hydrology, groundwater, surface-water, climate, GIS, remote sensing and historical data. Use HPC for ensembles and uncertainty analysis, then AI as an interface and surrogate-model layer with provenance and human scientific authority preserved.
RESEARCH RADAR · NEXT VALIDATION TARGETS
What the program needs to prove next
Validate compute, accelerator, storage, network, scheduler, eligibility, utilization and lifecycle data with each institution.
Document ownership, data classifications, research agreements, security boundaries and the authorities that cannot be federated.
Track NSF, DOE and state opportunities around cyberinfrastructure, AI, workforce, water, climate and regional innovation.
Identify real research workloads that can graduate from notebooks to university HPC and national research infrastructure.
Define one bounded basin or hydrologic question, authoritative datasets, model chain, uncertainty measures and measurable outcome.
Design a progression through Linux, Python, containers, Slurm, GPU, MPI, AI, security and scientific reproducibility.
RESEARCH POSITION
The moat is the network.
Hardware can be purchased. The harder asset to reproduce is the network of scientists, students, national laboratories, universities, public institutions, companies, data, governance and pathways to appropriate compute.
