Welcome to the Mississippi Center for Supercomputing Research!

Since 1987, MCSR has enabled Mississippi’s universities and institutions to conduct cutting-edge scientific, engineering, and scholarly work. We provide access to state-supported supercomputing systems, software environments, data storage, and training in computational methods. Our services are available at no charge to faculty, staff, and students affiliated with Mississippi’s public institutions of higher learning.

In addition to hardware access, MCSR offers technical resources for getting started, guidance for running jobs, and software support. We are committed to educational outreach and regularly host training workshops to help researchers and students build essential skills in scientific computing and data analysis.

Whether you're modeling complex systems, processing large datasets, or running simulations, MCSR is here to help you take your research further.

Fall MCSR Workshops

MCSR will once again offer technical workshops to help our users and others in the Mississippi education community get the most out of their computing resources.

All workshops are on Wednesdays from 2:00-3:00pm on Zoom. There is no need to register, just show up on the Zoom link at the appointed time. A reminder will be sent to the MCSR Users email list 30 minutes before each workshop.

If you’re not an MCSR user, but would like to receive a reminder email 30 minutes prior to each workshop, please join the mcsr-workshops email list by sending an email to mcsr-workshops+subscribe@listserv.olemiss.edu.

If you would like to receive a link to the recording of the workshop, please join the mcsr-videos email list by sending an email to mcsr-videos+subscribe@listserv.olemiss.edu. The video will be sent out late Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.
