Computational Research

Computational resources are playing an increasingly important role in meeting the needs of researchers and in preparing students for careers in commercial and academic fields. To serve the needs of the KSU research community, ÈâÈ⴫ý provides specialized technology resources like the High Performance Computing cluster.  

The Center for Research Computing is committed to supporting the efforts of those with research computing needs by offering consultation, documentation, and training for compute facilities. The support, documentation, and technical expertise for research computing on this site is provided via a partnership between KSU’s Office of the Vice President for Research and the .

High Performance Computing Spotlights

Check out the HPC Researcher Spotlights at KSU. This section highlights researchers utilizing KSU's High Performance Computing system for groundbreaking research projects. Featured are collaborations across various disciplines, extensive publications, and funded research. In our Spotlight Series, we explore the power of Bayesian Statistics in social science and business research. This presentation, tailored for a non-technical audience, highlights how Bayesian methods offer flexible and nuanced statistical modeling by incorporating prior knowledge. Join us to discover how these advanced techniques are applied in real-world research scenarios!

2025 Supercomputing Researcher Spotlight Series

In addition to these web-based spotlights, we host a yearly speaker series where we have a KSU HPC researcher share their work and how they use the HPC to accomplish their computation needs.  For 2025, we present two sessions from Dr. Todd Pierson, Assistant Professor of Biology in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology.  Here is a description of the two sessions this year.

Applications of Genomic Data to Study the Ecology and Evolution of Amphibians: Research and Impact
11AM - 12PM, Monday, March 24, 2025 on
Appalachia is the global center of biodiversity for salamanders. However, these amphibians are notoriously difficult to identify with morphological characters and have gigantic genomes—two large challenges to biologists tasked with identifying and classifying their diversity. This presentation is designed for a non-technical audience and includes a series of case studies demonstrating how the Pierson Lab @ KSU uses genomic data to better study the ecology, evolution, and conservation of these amphibians.

Applications of Genomic Data to Study the Ecology and Evolution of Amphibians: Implementation and Demonstration
11AM - 12PM, Monday, March 31, 2025 on
This presentation is designed for a more technical audience and offers a glimpse into some of the approaches that the Pierson Lab uses to analyze genomic data on the KSU HPC. These methods include brief introductions to the handling, processing, and assembly of large genomic datasets and methods for phylogenomic and population genomic inference.
