- The High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities at the University of Connecticut provide our researchers with the power to manipulate, analyze, and store massive amounts of data at high speed. UConn maintains centralized computational facilities in Storrs and Farmington, each optimized for different research areas.
Storrs
The HPC facility on the Storrs campus serves all of UConn's researchers, with a focus on tightly-coupled computational problems capable of scaling from a single computer to hundreds of compute nodes. This facility is optimized for compute-intensive workloads, such as simulation and modeling.
Farmington
The HPC facility on the Farmington campus is available to all UConn researchers, with a focus on bioinformatics, genomics, and other data-intensive computational problems. This facility is optimized for data-intensive workloads, such as bioinformatics and genomics.
Other Facilities
Computational Biology Core
Housed in the Institute for Systems Genomics
Open Science Grid
Managed by the Physics Department
Featuring 11,000 CPU cores, a high-speed fabric interconnect, and a parallel file system, the HPC facility on the Storrs campus has served over 500 researchers from each of the university’s schools and colleges.
