Home migration

ICER migrated to a new home file system in 2025

All MSU users are now using the new home file system. Old home directories on the previous file system have been permanently removed.

The Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER) provides the cyberinfrastructure for researchers from across academia and industry to perform their computational research. ICER supports multidisciplinary research in all facets of computational sciences. ICER continually works to enhance MSU’s national and international presence and competitive edge in disciplines and research that rely on advanced computing. The High Performance Computing Center (HPCC) is ICER's computational facility.
