Research Computing Services


As one of several services, within the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Information Technology Services (ITS), the Research Computing Services (RCS) mission is to support the unique computing needs of UNCG’s diverse community of researchers by developing shared computing resources, as well as coordinating and facilitating access to state and national computing resources. RCS also offers specialized services that would be difficult for individual researchers or departments to provide internally.

RCS’s two main focus services are High Performance Computing (HPC) and Research Technology Assistance.


High-Performance Computing (HPC)



 

Henry2 HPC, North Carolina State University

 

 

Dogwood HPC, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

 

 

 

Longleaf HPC, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

 

 

National HPC

Additional Compute Resources are available on the National Grid for the following:

  • Special hardware not available at UNCG such as
    • TPUs and GPUs
    • Large memory computers (1TB and above)
  • Cloud computing environment (Virtual GPUs included)
  • Short and long-term computation or analysis on large data sets ( 1 TB or more)

Research Technology Assistance


Secure Research Computing Environment(SRCE): A service that allows researchers to store and analyze sensitive research data subject to regulatory standards including HIPAA and FISMA.

Request a SRCE: submit a request at 6-TECH . Ask for the assistance of the Research Computing Infrastructure group in your request statement.

 

Research Data Transfer: A service provided for large data sizes that can not be transferred with the common tools.

Request assistance: submit a request at 6-TECH . Ask for the assistance of the Research Computing Infrastructure group in your request statement.



Cloud Cyberinfrastructure Lab (CCILab): Helps to further the use of cloud CyberInfrastructure in both research and the classroom.

Request a service: submit a request at 6-TECH. Ask for the assistance of the Research Computing Infrastructure group in your request statement.



Research Data: The University Libraries provide support for the following services:

 

Research Computing Consultation. The RCS provides consultation services on the following:

  • Computer Hardware Specifications and Purchases for research
  • Letter of Support for technical assistance in Grant Writing
  • Research Computing Facilitation
  • Cloud Computing Facilitation
  • HPC Facilitation
  • Large data transfer and manipulation
  • Off Campus CyberInfrastructure Such as ACCESS, Longleaf and Dogwood and Henry2 HPC Clusters.

Request a Consultation with an RCS Consultant: please complete and submit the Research Computing Consultation request form.

Science DMZ: is a network or a portion of a network, designed to facilitate the transfer of big science data. The default network on campus is the general-purpose network, also referred to as the enterprise network.

  • Science DMZ at UNCG: the gcrNet is the Science DMZ deployment at UNCG.
