About ARSC

The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center serves the computational needs of the University of Alaska and the Department of Defense as a Distributed Center (DC) within the DOD's High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP). The center has been serving the computational needs of the academic and DoD community since 1993.

Mission:

The mission of the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) is to support high performance computational research in science and engineering with an emphasis on high latitudes and the Arctic. ARSC provides high performance computational, visualization, networking and data storage resources for researchers within the Department of Defense, the University of Alaska (UA), other academic and scientific institutions, and government agencies. Researchers at UA make significant contributions to science on state, national and international levels using ARSC resources and talent.

ARSC maintains three access labs on the UAF campus for use by faculty, affiliated researchers and students. These labs are located in the Duckering building, the Natural Sciences facility and the Elvey building. Visualization hardware includes Silicon Graphics workstations, an Onyx2 with InfiniteReality graphics and a Pyramid Systems ImmersaDesk. The center also operates an MD Flying Flex™ three-dimensional virtual reality immersive device, which is available to students and researchers in the center’s Discovery Lab, located in the Rasmuson Library.

University classes offered by joint ARSC faculty appointments in biology, art, computer science, engineering, physics and other disciplines provide opportunities for students to learn how to use ARSC resources. ARSC also offers a continuing program of training sessions to teach users how to use available resources.
