High-Performance Computing Clusters

Private Cluster Hosting & Maintenance

Computational Resources

Research groups who have procured their own HPC or GPU cluster may house them in Cornell's primary machine room in Rhodes Hall. CAC's professional systems staff provide full systems management and maintenance — handling software updates, server and network upkeep, power, cooling, and more — so you can focus on your research, not infrastructure.

Departments using this service include:

Anthropology, Applied Physics, BEE, BioHPC, CCSS, CBE, CS, Economics, Human Ecology, Johnson, MAE, MSE, Nutrition, Physics, Plant Science, and WCM.

Cluster Design & Procurement Support

CAC systems consultants are available to help design optimal HPC environments tailored to your research needs — servers, storage, cluster architecture, and systems software. If you are procuring a cluster, we can assist in securing favorable pricing at no cost. Cluster installation is available as a fee-based consulting service.

Web Application Development & Hosting

CAC also offers web application development and hosting services for research. We can build, deploy, and maintain research-focused websites, integrating features such as:

  • High-performance computing engines
  • Large-scale storage systems
  • Databases and custom tools

Prefer to build and host your own site: CAC also provides do-it-yourself Red Cloud computing for researchers looking for full control.
