Polyquanta is Cal Poly Pomona’s Linux-based high performance computing cluster. Currently utilized for molecular dynamics simulations of macromolecular systems and electronic structure theory calculations, our cluster is available to faculty and collaborative partners for a wide range of distributed computing applications.
Projects actively conducted on our cluster include undergraduate bioinformatics instruction, graduate level thesis work, and post-doctoral research. Our principal collaborative projects are conducted by the Sharma Group from Cal Poly's Center for Macromolecular Modeling & Materials Design (CM3D).
Cal Poly’s computational group consists of representatives from the Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and Computer Science departments. Our panel of professors and technical staff meet on campus once every two weeks to discuss cluster-related business. If you are interested in joining our cluster board or utilizing Cal Poly’s cluster computing resources, please see the contact instructions.
