USGS Hovenweep Supercomputer
Hovenweep is a USGS on-premises supercomputer housed at the EROS Datacenter in Sioux Falls, SD. It is the newest system in our research computing portfolio and is a Cray machine built using the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen 10 platform.
Hovenweep has replaced Yeti and serves as the workhorse supercomputer for general-purpose HPC workloads.
