Santa Clara University’s High Performance Computing (HPC) Center is excited to introduce its newly launched WAVE website. The new site was designed to make it easier for students, faculty, and researchers to learn about the computational resources available at SCU and the opportunities they provide for research, teaching, and innovation.
The website highlights the Wiegand Advanced Visualization Environment (WAVE), SCU’s hub for high-performance computing, data analytics, and advanced visualization. Visitors can explore how the center supports interdisciplinary research across campus, from scientific modeling and machine learning to large-scale data analysis, while also helping students develop valuable computational skills for the modern workforce.
In addition to explaining the technology behind the HPC system, the new website introduces the people and partnerships that made the center possible. Dedicated pages recognize the generous support of the E. L. Wiegand Foundation and the Fletcher Jones Foundation, whose investments helped establish the infrastructure and expand programs that bring advanced computing into the classroom and research labs.
The site also provides a central place to learn about the many opportunities connected to WAVE. Faculty can explore research grants and course development initiatives that integrate high-performance computing into their teaching and scholarship. Students can discover programs like the Emerging Research Student Cohort, which offers mentorship and research experience using advanced computational tools. Community members can also find information about skills-based workshops and training programs designed to help new users learn how to effectively utilize HPC resources.
By bringing all of this information together in one place, the new WAVE website serves as a gateway to SCU’s growing ecosystem of computational research and learning. As the university continues to expand its computing capacity and interdisciplinary collaborations, the site will help connect the campus community with the tools, programs, and opportunities that drive discovery in the digital age.
