Introduction to UW Hyak

Hyak is the University of Washington’s high-performance computing cluster:

Hyak is part of the University of Washington’s cyberinfrastructure plan to support world-class research in every department. Hyak is an ecosystem of high-performance compute (HPC) clusters and supporting infrastructure (e.g., data management, computational training, scientific consulting). We are currently on the 3rd generation cluster for Hyak.

Klone

The latest generation of the Hyak cluster is Klone.

Mox

The second generation of the Hyak cluster, Mox, is being phased out in 2024. No new capacity or node additions are planned. The Klone cluster is recommended for all users.
