BSWIFT II Information:

We are pleased to announce the retirement of BSWIFT I and the launch of the new BSWIFT II computing cluster. The new cluster will support condo mode, and we are excited to collaborate with faculty and departments to price and integrate compatible hardware, enhancing your available computing resources. If you're interested in discussing specifics, please reach out to us via the contact link below.

Planned Enhancements:

As there has been expressed interest in the incorporation of GPUs in the system, we are happy to announce that we hope to have GPUs purchased and installed shortly after the Spring semester begins.

BSWIFT II is a computing resource owned by the Behavioral and Social Sciences College (BSOS) and is managed by the Office of Academic Computing Services (OACS). This service is available to all BSOS faculty and faculty-sponsored students and is powered by Dell hardware running on the University of Maryland's GLUE UNIX platform.

Please be aware that BSWIFT staff provide support solely for the hardware and operating system. Users are expected to have a working knowledge of Unix/Linux and be proficient in command-line navigation. Application and code support is offered only to a limited extent.
