HPC Cluster
The HPC cluster is MCW's primary computational resource. The cluster contains more than 3,800 CPU cores in a variety of compute node architectures, including large memory and GPUs. All compute nodes are connected by a high-speed, low latency network. The cluster also includes a 215TB scratch storage file system. 
Data Storage
In addition to the cluster's scratch storage, RCC also provides general purpose research storage with a replicated 2.6PB file system. This persistent storage is mounted on the cluster via NFS, or provided directly to user's via NFS and SMB.
Software
Cluster software installation and tuning services are available to all users. We will help install most supported software packages on the clusters, and when able, will advise on best use for our clusters.
Consulting
We are glad to help with your research data and computing needs. Consulting topics might include best practice for computing, software install, research data management, grant assistance, security, etc. Project time, software development, paid support, and other dedicated resources are not available.
