Advanced Research Computing provides access to and support for advanced computing resources. ARC facilitates new and more powerful approaches to research challenges in fields ranging from physics to linguistics, and from engineering to medicine.
ARC provides or facilitates access to:
- High Performance Computing
A shared computing cluster, Great Lakes, operated on an allocation basis. Researchers can buy as much or as little time as needed on our cluster, currently approximately 27,000 cores and growing. - A Hadoop cluster for data-science research.
- Cloud computing services
- Research storage
- Regional and national high performance computing resources
- Regional and national network resources.
U-M Research Computing Package
The University of Michigan Research Computing Package (UMRCP) is an investment into the U-M research community via simple, dependable access to several ITS-provided high-performance computing clusters and data storage resources. CPU credits are allocated on the Great Lakes cluster and can be used for standard, larger memory, or GPU resources.
