Primary Resources and Services
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 ComputeData 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.
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.
User Support
Our Staff works to support all research computing at UW as well as specialty resources
from outside facilities.

Highlights from ARCC Researchers
WyGISC Collaboration provides Hyper Screen Sharing to Campus & Beyond
Researchers at the School of Computing’s Wyoming Geographic Science Center (WyGISC) worked with colleagues at the Research and Economic Development’s Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) to provide SAGE3. “We have partnered with ARCC on various other successful projects in the past to leverage their systems and expertise such as Pathfinder and Alcova, it just made sense to for us reach out to them on this one as well,” said Nicholas Case, a Geospatial Developer at WyGISC.
SAGE3(https://sage3.sagecommons.org/) is an open-source platform for collaboration similar to a jamboard but with much
more features funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It also complements
video meeting tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams and integrates Artificial Intelligence.
More specifically, SAGE3 provides researchers and students alike with the ability
to create collaboration boards that can then add several different applications and
widgets for coding, visualizations, AI chat, and more for whatever project they are
working on together.
A Dance of Two Stars & A Million CPUs
By working together, a researcher at the University of Wyoming (UWyo) and the Advanced
Research Computing Center (ARCC), over a year and a half’s worth of computational
work was completed in less than three weeks.
Binary star systems (two stars gravitationally bound in orbit around each other) are one of the many phenomena found in our galaxy that seem from science fiction. Tatooine anyone? However, they are quite common in our very own Milky Way. That said, much research is still needed to classify eclipsing binary systems. One such researcher, Megan Frank, a PhD candidate in UWyo’s Department of Physics and Astronomy is attempting to do just that. As Megan describes her project, “this project aims to classify four eclipsing binary systems located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (a dwarf galaxy of the Milky way). These objects are a bit unique in that they showcase a unique reflection effect in their light curves, meaning that the space between the primary and secondary eclipse is sloped rather than flat.”

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.
