Overview
SDSU’s instructional cluster or Visionary Education Research Network Environment (VERNE) provides undergraduate and graduate students with access to research-class CPU/GPU resources for coursework. Instructors may request access for their courses via ServiceNow. Students will receive access at the start of the semester for the requested course.
VERNE is also available during nonpeak times for specific approved projects. These requests can be made by ServiceNow and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
JupyterHub
JupyterHub is the latest web-based interactive development environment for notebooks, code, and data. Its flexible interface allows users to configure and arrange workflows in data science, scientific computing, computational journalism, and machine learning. Languages such as Python, R, and Julia are available along with Pandas, PyTorch, and TensorFlow libraries.
Batch / Long Running Jobs
While the primary interface of VERNE is JupyterHub, more complex jobs can be created and run as software containers. Our Software Factory is available to assist faculty and researchers with software containerization. Requests for consultation can be made by ServiceNow.
VERNE is operated by the Research & Cyberinfrastructure group within the IT Division.
