Researchers can utilize Extreme, a shared high-performance computing cluster operated jointly by Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) & Academic Computing and Communications Center (ACCC) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). UIC researchers can also request access to the SABER (Shared Analytics and Big Data Enterprise Resource) cluster to perform Big Data computations on a per use basis.
In addition, UIC researchers can request access to UIC’s High-Performance Research Network (HPRNet) that provides access to dedicated data expressways which in turn connect to other Research and Educations (R&E) data networks, also commonly known as Internet2. HPRNet enables data-intensive scientific collaborations across the world by facilitating bulk data transfers over GridFTP technology.
