Research Computing Services (RCS) designs, deploys and maintains some of the world's most high performance computational and data storage systems. We offer advanced, secure and scalable digital research infrastructure for the University, the wider UK academic community and select commercial partners.
Whether your desktop or laptop has become a bottle neck to your research plans, or you need to scale to 1000s of CPUs, or analyse petabytes of data, the RCS provides our research community with services at every scale.
- High performance computing
- Fast, large-scale storage options
- Research software engineering
- Secure research platforms
RCS is home to the Cambridge Open Zettascale Lab, an industrially-funded initiative, sponsored by Dell Technologies, and in partnership with UKAEA, DiRAC, Intel, and Pembroke College. RCS also hosts the research software engineering team for the Institute of Computing for Climate Science.
Research Computing Services offers the systems, expertise and training to enable computational science and digital scholarship. We support researchers and industrial partners by providing the resources for their data, software and compute intensive workflows.
