of Research Services (ORS). The Center provides high-performance
computing hardware and network infrastructure, as well as consulting
and training services in pursuit of its mission.
Mission
The mission of RCC is to provide and support world-class research
computing and communications resources that enhance the productivity
of researchers at UGA, enable UGA researchers to accelerate the
rate of new scientific and artistic breakthroughs, enable collaborative
research between UGA researchers and their peers at other research
institutions, provide effective access to information sources
throughout the world, and facilitate the efficient use of information
technologies by providing training, outreach, and consulting
in the use of hardware and software resources.
Strategic Goals
- Provide high performance, high capacity computing, storage,
and communications capacities available to researchers.
- Build a funding model, policies, and procedures that maximize
the effectiveness of IT resources purchased in support of research.
- Provide platforms for researchers to use in experiments,
problem solving, and data analysis.
- Provide policies, practices, and software in support of
simple service level agreements between RCC and its client
researchers.
- Provide software to support best practices in fiscal management,
laboratory management, safety and regulatory compliance.
