-Hellbender is a traditional HPC research cluster built at MU in 2023 to support research efforts for UM researchers. Mizzou's Division of Research, Innovation & Impact (DRII) is the primary source of funding for the hardware and support of Hellbender. Hellbender started as 112 compute nodes containing 2 AMD 7713 processors and 512GB of RAM and 17 GPU nodes containing 4 Nvidia A100 80GB RAM GPUs, 2 Intel Xeon 6338 processors, and 256GB of system RAM. Since then, it has expanded thanks to researcher investments and repurposing the newest portions of the previous HPC cluster. See a more detailed overview of Hellbender architecture at {{ :pub:hpc:hellbender_system_overview.pdf |}}.+Hellbender is a traditional HPC research cluster built at MU in 2023 to support research efforts for UM researchers.

 DRII has made it clear the mission of Hellbender is to accelerate Mizzou Forward initiatives. There are 2 access levels made available for UM researchers, general and priority access. General access is free and available to all UM researchers. General access provides an equal share of at least 50% of the resources available to all users. Priority access provides dedicated access to some number of nodes on Hellbender and is available through investment.  DRII has made it clear the mission of Hellbender is to accelerate Mizzou Forward initiatives.
