High performance computing (HPC)

Overview

High performance computing (HPC) is one of the key elements of successful Cyberinfrastructure in a life sciences environment.  Many problems at the frontiers of discovery in the life sciences require extraordinary computational equipment and support services.  Through a combination of advanced machinery and a scientific staff with expertise in computational biology, the IST division of High Performance and Research Computing provides an important resource to researchers with demanding computational problems.   HP&RC scientists typically collaborate with the scientific cores and faculty in all phases of research and its attendant funding cycle.  In addition to direct collaboration in research projects, HP&RC maintains easily accessible computational resources supporting the common tools of bioinformatics, statistics and molecular modeling.
