  2. The Mission of the Stern Center for Research Computing • We are devoted to providing world class facilities and services to • help researchers solve problems that are computationally challenging • make it possible to attack previously infeasible problems with innovative computational techniques • assist researchers by offering consulting services for all aspects of research specific computing • Provide dozens of business data sources, the foundation of successful business research

  3. High Performance Grid Computing Environment • For long running computations and/or tasks with large memory requirements • Run multiple tasks simultaneously across many machines • Free alternative to purchasing and/or dedicating personal computer hardware for research • Parallel GPU computing for intensive matrix operations with MATLAB

  4. Cloud Computing • Specialized virtual machines for research projects • Access from anywhere research desktop • Free alternative to purchasing research dedicated personal computer hardware • Customizable • # of processors up to 8 • RAM size up to 32GB • disk size up to 1 TB local • 10 gb network connectivity • Linux or Windows platforms

  5. “Big Data” cluster • Hadoop cluster for analyzing and processing very large textual data sets • Processing of distributed data across nodes • Tools • hive – sql language • hbase – distributed database • pig – parallel data manipulation language • Mahout – data mining • datameer – spreadsheet-like interface • Tableau – Drag and drop reporting and graphics • SAS interface (coming soon!)

  6. Storage • Host large datasets reliably • More than 150 TB total storage • High speed access • Backed up • Data conversion services
