Research computing enabled accounts provide access to the high performance computing platforms and software that ITC maintains and are meant to be used for computation/memory intensive computing jobs. Depending on the platform, either serial and parallel programs can be run using either compiled code written in Fortran or C/C++. Programs written using problem solving environments such as Matlab, Mathematica, Ansys, or SAS can also be run on these platforms.
Research computing accounts are restricted to faculty, staff, and graduate students. An undergraduate who can demonstrate the need for accessing a high performance platform and who has a faculty sponsor can also obtain an account. Users requesting a research computing account must already have a Unix account on the blue.unix cluster and they should be familiar with working in the Unix environment from the command line at a level commensurate with the ITC document "Introduction to the Unix Operating System."
Research computing enabled accounts allow users to access the following
high performance platforms:
ITC Linux clusters
If you already have an account on any of these platforms, then
your account is also enabled to access all of them. If you have not
previously obtained an account on an ITC research computing platform,
you should submit a request for a research
computing enabled account.
