High Performance Computing
KSU's High Performance Computing (HPC) resources are key to the University's research infrastructure. These HPC are designed to handle massive datasets and perform intricate simulations, enabling student, faculty, and staff researchers to perform complex computational tasks and large-scale data analysis across disciplines.
Southern Crossroads (SoX)
In 2023, KSU joined the CDC, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and
other leading research institutions in establishing high-speed pathways to Internet2 and other heavily used commercial content providers. This allows for rapid sharing
of large amounts of data with other research organizations, facilitating real-time
collaboration between researchers at KSU and other participating institutions worldwide.
On each campus, 100G is available to serve KSU researchers’ needs.
You do not need to take any extra steps to use this network connection; you are directly
using these connections any time you are on campus and access internet-based resources.
