Advanced Research Computing Center

UW Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) is the primary research computing facility for the University of Wyoming and we are housed within the Division of Research and Economic Development. We deploy and maintain in-house scientific computing resources including high performance computing clusters, high-speed research storage, and host specialized services.  Our center strives to support and enhance the University's research mission, and serves as a gateway to other research institutions within Wyoming and across the nation.

If you are new to ARCC and high performance computing, we recommend beginning with our Getting Started guide.  Users can also stay up to date with the latest news and announcements by joining our mailing list.

HPC Services

ARCC staff host, maintain and support in-house HPC resources for use by the UW research community and collaborators.  Learn more about how to get access to HPC resources available to you as a UW researcher.

High Performance Compute

Data Services

Our team provide data storage options as a core service and some storage is available at little to no cost.  Find out how to use data storage already available to you as a UW researcher.

Research Data

Miscellaneous Resources and Services

Our specialized services often start as a byproduct of specific needs from a researcher.  If we do not provide something you need today, we may be able to provide it tomorrow. 

SPECIALIZED SERVICES

User Support

Our staff works to support all research computing at UW as well as specialty resources falling outside our current services.  We maintain documentation, offer office hours, consultations, and more to help you make the most of available time and resources.  Check out our User Support pages to learn more.

Why use HPC?

High-Performance Computing (HPC) references using powerful computers to perform complex calculations and simulations that are typically difficult or impossible using a conventional desktop computer.  HPC can offer users significant benefits in many applications.  While not necessary for all projects, it is a very valuable tool for researchers who want to spend less time waiting on computations or simulations. 

Improved Speed and Efficiency
HPC allows you to perform calculations and simulations much faster than you can on a regular desktop computer or laptop. This lets you complete tasks quickly, save time and money, and make more informed decisions.
Handling for Large Datasets
HPC can process and analyze large amounts of data more easily than conventional computers, which is vital in many fields, including data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Flexibility and Scalability
Users can scale to much larger problem sizes and configurations when running on HPC. HPC resources now also include purpose-built accelerator technologies such as GPUs for modern compute-intensive workloads.
