Advanced Research Computing Center
Helping you create what's NEXT
Providing all of the tools and resources necessary for complex, large scale AI/ML, Modeling/Simulation, GenAI/LLMs, Data Analysis/Visualization and Data Science research
What is the ARC?
The ARC offers advanced computational tools and services designed to help you achieve your research AI/Machine Learning, modeling/simulation and data science/analysis goals. Our HPC/AI cluster includes 6,000 CPU cores and 28 GPU cores (20 A100 and 8 H100). We offer 3 levels of storage and dedicated data transfer nodes for large scale data collection/sharing.
Choose your interface: Containers, Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, OnDemand (interactive web interface or traditional Linux command line interface.
Need cloud resources? We have that too – at no cost to you! The ARC partners with the Jetstream2 national research science and engineering cloud to help you set up your workflows in their OpenStack cloud environment.
Need help designing your data workflow or onboarding onto larger systems? Our computational scientists and facilitators can help you optimize and scale up your workflow to speed up your time to science. We are experts on many research computing platforms including HPC, AI GPU clusters, cloud computing/virtual machines.
Getting Started
Step 1. First Time Users of the ARC
Our research facilitators/computational scientists will help you figure out the best resources for your workflow and estimate the amount of resources you may need for your project.
Step 2. Request/Start a New Project
a. If you don’t already have one, request a new account in the UC Core Facility system: Request a PPMS account
b. Once your account is approved, Submit a Project Request. A valid UC account string for monthly charges is required when requesting resources. You will also need to enter the number of hours you may need to complete your project.
c. A member of the ARC team will contact you to help you get started once we have received your project request.

Program Information
As part of UC’s Research2030 investments in infrastructure and growing our research impact, we seek to support and enhance our research community whose activities are aligned with the ASTRO (formerly SRIDE). The goal of this funding support mechanism is to enable investigators whose research interests are aligned with the ASTRO to use the ARCC, UC’s high-performance computing (HPC) services or the Digital Futures Virtual Environments Lab to obtain critical data for submission of a competitive extramural proposal, patent application, commercialization agreement, or peer-reviewed manuscript.
Purpose: To assist the researcher performing artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics/science and modeling and simulation research and research data management including storage, transfer, collaboration and sharing of data.
The application form for requesting ASTRO-supported use of these facilities can be found at https://research.uc.edu/funding/overview. Interested researchers are encouraged to contact the Office of Research to receive support before submitting an application: research@uc.edu
