Research Computing Home

Welcome to the home page of support documentation for ITS Research Computing at Syracuse University!

Research Computing at Syracuse University is a collaborative effort between the campus research community and technology groups from across campus. The technology groups include both distributed information technology teams as well as support from Information Technology Services (ITS) which provides research computing infrastructure resources.

Our research computing tools and infrastructure are designed from the ground up to help researchers affiliated with Syracuse University succeed. Available resources include Orange Grid, our high throughput computing (HTC) cluster and Zest, our high performance computing (HPC) cluster, virtual private cloud (AVHE and Crush), and GPU-based computing (SUrge). More details about our service offerings can be viewed on the ITS Research Computing Resources page.
