BU Research Computing Services Overview
For 40 years, RCS has provided consulting, training, and infrastructure support to thousands of researchers and students on the Charles River and Medical Campuses. RCS supports a wide range of disciplines from the Physical Sciences and Engineering to recently emerged computational communities such as Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Genomics, Neuroscience, Machine Learning, Public and Global Health, Economics, Finance, Social Sciences, Microbiology, and Infectious Diseases. RCS manages the University’s Shared Computing Cluster (SCC) a Linux cluster with over 28,000 CPU cores, 300 GPUs, and 12 PB of disk for research data. RCS serves 3000 researchers in 1200 projects from 90 departments and centers at the University. In addition, 50 courses from 26 BU academic departments use the SCC.
Boston University is a founding member of the Massachusetts Green High-Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) along with Harvard, MIT, Northeastern and the University of Massachusetts. The MGHPCC is a research computing data center which includes 33,000 square feet of computer room space optimized for high performance computing systems, a 19MW power feed, and a high efficiency cooling plant that can support up to 10MW of computing load.
RCS can facilitate access to regional and national systems such as NSF ACCESS, DOE systems, and the New England Research Cloud (NERC). BU is a lead partner in The Massachusetts Open Cloud Alliance (MOC-A), a collaboration of industry, the open-source community, research IT staff, and systems researchers.
Boston University is one of the leading private research and teaching institutions in the world, and one of the largest employers in the city of Boston. With over 35,000 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 130 countries, 10,000 faculty and staff, 17 schools and colleges, and 300 programs of study, our three campuses lead the way in world-class education and innovative research. BU has a rich legacy of serving both greater Boston and the world community.
