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

Frequently Asked Questions

Start here!  ARCC serves the UW as the primary research computing resource on campus.  Not only are our HPC resources a good place to test the waters and explore HPC as a brand new user, our team can help guide you as you learn how to use it and figure out how to make it work best for you.   Please see our "Getting Started" page on our wiki to find out how to get access to our cluster and begin using it for your research. 

We also provide end user support services including:

  • Training

  • Consultations through our bi-weekly office hours, or upon request

  • In-depth documentation available through our online wiki

In addition to hosting HPC resources and assisting in the use of HPC, ARCC has many resources including research data storage, hosts VMs for specialty projects, and provide user support for all UW researchers. 

 

ARCC hosts research data storage and services for many UW researchers who aren't performing high performance computations on an HPC cluster.  Just because you don't use HPC doesn't mean we can't help.  If you're not sure, e-mail us at arcc-help@uwyo.edu 

 

ARCC policy requires a PI (Principal Investigator) to create a project on our HPC resources.  If you would like to get a project on our cluster, please contact your advisor or a faculty member in your department to have them create a project on the cluster, and add you as a project member.
