Purdue Analysis Facility

The Purdue Analysis Facility is designed to provide an interactive environment for fast and scalable CMS physics analyses using dedicated computing resources at Purdue.




Purdue AF features a JupyterLab interface with access to CPUs, GPUs, and distributed computing resources via SLURM and Dask Gateway. It features a software stack suitable for all steps of HEP analysis design and execution, including popular tools such as coffea, ROOT, RDataFrame, as well as popular machine learning packages like tensorflow. Users are provided with a variety of data access methods (XRootD, XCache, Rucio), as well as multiple private and shared storage volumes.

The software and functionality is regularly updated to provide state-of-the-art tools and features for fast, efficient, collaborative HEP research.
