FY2025 Selected Highlights
See more detail about ARC's FY2025 accomplishments
One of the largest upgrades in GPUs and hardware in ARC history
In FY2025, ARC continued to expand their high-performance computing infrastructure to keep up with the enormous volume of demand for HPC services.
Data Den Research Archive has doubled in size from FY2024, now housing 25,000 terabytes of storage capacity.
This upgrade now constitutes 2,712 miles of tape, which is enough to cover the distance between Ann Arbor and the Amazon Rainforest.
Turbo Research Storage Upgrade
Pivoting from mechanical hard drives to Flash memory, Turbo now has 14 petabytes of storage capacity and a data transfer rate of 10-25 gigabytes / second — that’s fast enough to fill the new Nintendo Switch 2’s internal storage in just over 10 seconds!
ARC Website Redesign
The ARC website underwent a complete glow-up last summer, receiving a new design, improved functionality, and a dedicated Maizey available 24/7 to answer questions about ARC’s services.
Great Lakes /scratch Upgrade
Great Lakes
/scratch has received performance improvements and an expansion in storage to 2.4 petabytes - the equivalent of more than 322 million GameBoy cartridges.ARC Research Purchased Hardware (ARPH)
Faculty Owned Equipment (FOE) has changed its name to ARC Research Purchased Hardware (ARPH) to better reflect its service offerings, aiming to provide greater flexibility and improved support for systems external to ARC.
The University of Michigan Research Computing Package 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.
