High Performance Computing Support

How can you gain the advantages of supercomputing systems at IU? RAC's HPC support group can answer your questions. As well as providing programming support, HPC can help you migrate, optimize, and parallelize your code. The highly qualified professional computational scientists foster substantial collaborative relationships with IU research programs. Extended consulting is available.

Unix System Support

The Unix Systems Support Group offers a variety of services for IU faculty, staff, and students. These services are directed toward those who own or administer Unix workstations.

  • System administration support and tools
  • Network administration and support services
  • Software and hardware acquisition consulting

Statistics and Mathematical Consulting

The Stat/Math Center assists faculty, staff and students with research projects as well as specific questions on using statistical and mathematical software for data analysis. Stat/Math also provides online software guides and can arrange introductory lectures on a variety of statistical and mathematical packages.

Bioinformatics

RAC supports researchers engaged in biological computing, particularly in the areas of genomics, cell biology and molecular biology. RAC's Bioinformatics group provides:

  • application support
  • technical support
  • software development

Bioinformatics tests and licenses software— software used broadly across academic departments and that analyze molecular data (biology, medicine, and anthropology). Technical support includes data management consulting, as well as help chosing algorithms and statistical methods of data analysis. Bioinformatics also assists researchers with the development of software when time and/or expertise are an issue.

Biomedical Applications

Biomedical Applications provides data access and management services in support of biomedical research computing at Indiana University. Short term and long term consulting is available for biomedical researchers interested in help determining the right way to manage their data and/or in help making use of bioinformatics tools such as the NCBI Entrez Programming Utilities (eUtils\). Biomedical Applications can advise on what services and software to use and potentially partner with IU researchers in building successful data management applications and new services.
