Vermont Advanced Computing Center (VACC)

Research

VACC The VACC provides high performance computing platforms, with leading edge supercomputing technology that allows faculty and students to focus on their research rather than system administration. Our systems enable larger, broader and more complex computation than ever before. The center puts advanced technology in the hands of the academic population. This promotes research and teaching on campus by integrating state-of-the-art high performance computing technology for faculty, staff and students.

The VACC will provide consulting services to help researchers with their experimental software and hardware needs. The goal of the VACC is to facilitate research and aid in educational advancement, providing high-performance computing to individuals and administrative units, as well as multidisciplinary units across campus. The VACC provides an environment at UVM that supports computing-related research, education, collaborations between UVM researchers and regional commercial colleagues, and technology transfer. Collaborative research is a common core objective of advancing computational science and engineering using high performance computing. The VACC embraces a multi-disciplinary, team-oriented concept, and a commitment to a full partnership between education, research, and service.
