High performance computing allows you to analyze your data in far less time and at less cost than traditional computing. UCSF has multiple options available for high performance computation.

Services

• UCSF's Research Analysis Environment (RAE) is a secure data hosting and compute service for UCSF researchers and their internal or external collaborators and provides compute, storage, and tools in a secure, compliant platform. RAE Premium allows for high performance and expandable computing. 

• UCSF Wynton HPC is a large, shared high-performance compute (HPC) cluster underlying UCSF’s research computing capability. It is funded and administered cooperatively by UCSF IT and key research groups and is available to all UCSF researchers. It consists of different profiles suited to various biomedical and health science computing needs.
