NRBSC User Resources

Currently, we offer one of the nation's most powerful computers, the Compaq/Alpha-based Terascale Computing System, and are introducing next-generation architectures to the biomedical community with the Cray XT3 system. We also provide bioinformatics support on other PSC systems. We provide excellent consulting as part of the Service mission.


bigben
