Research Computing Services
Research Computing ServicesÌý(RCS)’s mission is to provide researchers with the support, expertise and resources necessary to conduct research computing at ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´.
RCS personnel will support and assist researchers in using Advanced Research Computing (ARC) and High-Performance resources available on- and off-campus. This support includes tutorials, training, workshops as well as assistance with porting and optimizing existing code.
Services offered include:
- Provide a single point of contact for research-related requests to ITS.
- Access to cloud computing resources the . The RCDC can be used by researchers for their research computing needs as well as to develop new code and applications.
- Offer access to the  filesharing platform for research data.
- Custom, purpose-built research software created by the RCS Research Software Development team.
- Access to open and commercial software packages including: IBM SPSS Statistics, MathWorks’ Matlab, Stata/SE, NVivo, Qualtrics, etc (full list HERE).
- Support the joint Data Science program. Participate in the design, measurement, collection, sampling and statistical analysis of research data and results.
- Offer tutoring, training, workshops and support scientific researchers, staff and students regarding HPC and Advanced Research Computing (ARC) resources.
