 +===== Structure and History of HPCC =====
 +
 +==== History ====
 +
 +In 2006, 4 Wesleyan qfaculty members approached ITS with a proposal to centrally manage a whigh performance computing center (HPCC) seeding the effort with an NSF grant (about $190K). ITS offered 0.5 FTE for a dedicated "hpcadmin". An Advisory Group was formed by these faculty plus hpcadmin (5 members, not necessarily our current "power users"). Another NSF grant reward was added in 2010 (about $105K). An alumni donation followed in 2016 (about $10K).  In 2018 the first instance of "faculty startup monies" was contribute to the HPCC (about $92K, see "Priority Policy" below. In 2019, a TrueNAS/ZFS appliance was purchased (about $40K) followed in 2020 by a GPU expansion project (about $96K). The latter two were self-funded expenditures, see "Funding Policy" below.

 +==== Structure ====

 +The Wesleyan HPCC is part of the **Scientific Computing and Informatics Center** ([[https://www.wesleyan.edu/scic/| SCIC ]]).  The SCIC project leader is appointed by the Director of the **Quantitative Analysis Center** [[https://www.wesleyan.edu/qac/| QAC ]].
