high performance computing.

Page 2: Scientific discovery,  analysis,  and  prediction made possible through

• State of the art supercomputers with 24/7 accessibility

• Petascale storage infrastructure provides backup, swift access, and retrieval of archived data

• Emphasis on the Arctic

• ARSC supports university scientists who use high-performance computing (HPC) to conduct research

• Climate and weather modeling, ice sheet modeling, oceans physical and ecological systems
