About Us
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center is a high-performance computing (HPC) research unit of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Funding for ARSC operations is augmented through external grants and contracts from a variety of sources, including the National Science Foundation and Lockheed Martin through the Department of Defense High Performance Computing and Modernization Program (HPCMP).
ARSC computational systems and resources are designed to meet the academic and research needs of university staff, faculty and students. Since ARSC's first compute cycles were realized in 1993, staff at ARSC have established a reputation for providing outstanding service in all aspects of high-performance computing, massive data storage and HPC network support.
People
ARSC consultants, systems analysts and specialists provide direct assistance to scientists who use supercomputers and high-performance computing (HPC) to conduct or advance their research. Consultants give training and support to users by phone, email and on-site, as needed, while specialists provide expertise in areas such as code migration and optimization. Research activities and computationally intensive investigations conducted at ARSC include climate and weather modeling, ice sheet modeling, oceans physical and ecological systems, materials science and engineering.
