Hardware Acceleration for Great Lakes
Early this year, ARC created a specialized “viz” partition, consisting of four nodes equipped with NVIDIA P40 GPUs, providing up to a 10x performance improvement for data visualization on Great Lakes.
The University of Michigan Research Computing Package
provides researchers with
provides researchers with
80,000 high-performance computing hours
16 GB of RAM for Secure Enclave Services
10 TB of replicated, high-performance storage
100 TB of archive storage
Additional HPC allocations for instructors, student teams, and Michigan Medicine
Data Den Research Archive houses 994+ miles of tape for archive storage. That’s enough tape to cover the distance between Ann Arbor and Jacksonville, FL!
"We generate a lot of data, and storage is important to our work. Thank you to ARC for providing their continual assistance for group members who have been in trenches. This has been a decade-long effort, and ITS/ARC was crucial along the journey."
— Dr. Vikram Gavini
Turbo Research Storage
With a focus on performance, Turbo enables investigators across the university to access data needed for research on a local computer. Averaging a read time of 6.6GB/s over a 24 hour period, Turbo could read a Blu-Ray every four seconds. The system is capable of reading up to 20GB/s — the equivalent of reading a Blu-Ray every 1.25 seconds.
The next generation of Turbo will be FOUR times faster.
