The Stanford Research Computing Center (SRCC) is a joint effort of the Dean of Research and IT Services to build and support a comprehensive program to advance computational research at Stanford. That includes offering and supporting traditional high performance computing (HPC) systems, as well as systems for high throughput and data intensive computing. The SRCC also helps researchers transition their analyses and models from the desktop to more capable and plentiful resources, providing the opportunity to explore their data and answer research questions at a scale typically not possible on desktops or departmental servers. Partnering with units like ICME (Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering) as well as the NSF XSEDE (Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment) program and vendors, the SRCC offers training and learning opportunities around HPC tools and technologies.
