Rocks Cluster Distribution (originally NPACI Rocks) is a Linux distribution intended for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It was started by National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in 2000.[2] It was initially funded in part by an NSF grant (2000–07),[3] but was funded by the follow-up NSF grant through 2011.[4]
