computing resources

The Bioinformatics Research Center provides faculty with access to high performance cluster computing on a 73-node Apple XServe cluster and a 4-node prototyping cluster. The cluster is equipped with a 3 TB RAID storage array. The cluster is loaded with common bioinformatics software accessible either through the BioTeam Inquiry web interface or via UNIX command line.

Researchers also have access to a 96-node Linux cluster through Information Technology Services.

Information technology services currently provided by the University and the computing support group within the College of Computing and Informatics has so far been adequate to the support of the Bioinformatics Research Center. Funding has recently been provided by the State Legislature for a $500,000 bioinformatics research computer to complement the $3.7M computational facility at NCRC.
