Research Support
- High Performance Computing
Cluster
Research groups from around campus and OIT have partnered to create
the High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC). The HPCC is available
to any campus researcher requiring compute cycles for parallel codes
and applications. To request an allocation of HPCC time, complete
the online application.
- Grid Computing
The Lattice Project
is an effort by a community of scientists at the University of Maryland
to develop and deploy a comprehensive Grid system that provides sufficient
computational and data resources available to an active community
of scientific researchers. The Lattice Project provides the framework
for running many types of scientific applications as Grid services.
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, BOINC, is
Grid middleware for uniting individual computers, typically desktops,
into a Grid system. For more information, please see the FAQs for
The Lattice Project.
- Research
Data Center
The Research Data Center houses computing hardware for groups who
do not have adequate facilities within their unit. Research groups
are responsible for paying installation
and monthly network fees. Equipment owners provide their own technical
support. Accommodations are made for both remote and physical access
to equipment.
- Data
Backup Services
You may choose to back up your research data or other data saved on
your computer's hard drive using the campus's Enterprise Backup Service.
OIT's data protection service is hosted by IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager
(TSM) and is available for many operating platforms, including Linux,
Solaris, Windows, Netware, and OS X. Protected data can be backed
up nightly or done as a one-time "archive." An additional
copy of the data is stored in an alternate location.
