Mission
Research Computing empowers UVA researchers to achieve more with cutting-edge computational resources. Our support team strives to create innovative solutions for researchers who need help solving complex optimization, parallelization, workflow, and data analysis issues. We build and maintain the University’s best computing platforms while educating the next generation of researchers on the power of advanced computing.
Research Standard Storage
Overview The Research Standard Storage file system provides users with a solution for research data storage and sharing. Public, internal use, and sensitive research data can be stored in Research Standard storage, and UVA Information Security provides details about data sensitivity classifications. Members in the same group have access to a shared directory created by the team lead or PI. Group membership can be defined and managed through Grouper (requires VPN connection). Research Standard storage is mounted on the HPC cluster and can also be accessed on a personal computer with an SMB mount, allowing for point-and-click file manipulation.
As of July, 2024, Each PI with a Research Computing account will have up to 10 TB of Research Standard Storage at no charge.
UVA HPC Software
Overview Research Computing at UVA offers a variety of standard software packages for all UVA HPC users. We also install requested software based on the needs of the high-performance computing (HPC) community as a whole. Software used by a single group should be installed by that group’s members, ideally on leased storage controlled by the group. Departments with a set of widely-used software packages may install them to the lsp_apps space. The Research Computing group also provides limited assistance for individual installations.
For help installing research software on your PC, please contact Research Software Support at res-consult@virginia.edu.
Software Modules and Containers Software on the HPC system is accessed via environment modules or containers.
Research Project Storage
Overview The Research Project Storage file system provides users with a collaborative space for data storage and sharing. Public, internal use, and sensitive research data can be stored in Research Project storage, and UVA Information Security provides details about data sensitivity classifications. Members in the same group have access to a shared directory created by the team lead or PI. Group membership can be defined and managed through Grouper (requires VPN connection). /project storage is mounted on the HPC cluster and runs on a new scale-out NAS file system.
If you are not a researcher, UVA ITS offers Value storage for long-term storage of large scale data.
