Top Stories
The Research Technologies Department of UITS has three supercomputers that are dedicated to all University researchers. They are provisioned with a large free allocation of time, free storage, an extensive software catalog, and consulting services to improve researchers time to science. These systems are refreshed every few years, and we are currently working on the purchase process for our next system.
Environments are available to UA researchers when their government contract or award indicating they are working CUI or contract clauses, including a GCC high instance of Office 365. We provide the same collaboration and communications platform in support of CUI and ITAR research as they are used for non-regulated activities.
Annual Profile is the University of Arizona’s online system for faculty annual reviews. It offers a convenient, user-friendly venue for faculty to document their achievements in research, teaching, leadership, service, and outreach. Annual Profile is meant to reduce the amount of time and effort faculty spend each year reporting on their accomplishments and increase the accuracy and consistency of their data.
In 2021, we supported $395M of sponsored research expenditures. There were 449 active PI’s across 75 different departments.
How can we help you? Our documentation is online and our consultants are available during Office Hours and through ServiceNow. Each semester, we conduct workshops that introduce different aspects of HPC; they are always available as recorded videos and Powerpoint documents.
