The mission of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences is to build capacity to solve problems of scientific and societal importance through cyber-enabled research. Roar is also compliant with specific NIH and NIST security controls.
#Matlab 2018b says processing perpetually archive#
It offers over 1000 servers with more than 23,000 processing cores, 6 Petabytes (PB) of disk parallel file storage, 12 PB of tape archive storage, high-speed Ethernet and Infiniband interconnects, and a large software stack. Roar provides a variety of services, including operations, backup, technical consulting, and training. Roar contributes to the ICDS mission by providing researchers with the hardware, software, and technical expertise needed to solve problems of scientific and societal importance. Roar provides secure, high-quality advanced computing and storage resources to the Penn State research community. The name also refers to the services associated with this system. The Roar supercomputer (formerly known as the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences Advanced CyberInfrastructure, or ICDS-ACI) is our high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. The expectation is that The Institute for Computational and Data Sciences will succeed both in facilitating research across a broad spectrum of disciplines and in securing significant external resources for cyberscience-related research for years to come. The intellectual strength of computational science lies with its universality – all research domains benefit from it. Such problems can range from understanding the physics of the origins of the universe, the genomic/molecular basis of disease, or the socioeconomic impacts of a digital society to designing smart structures and nanoscale tailored materials or to developing systems for clean energy or realtime responses to threats. We’re currently working to revise the Roar User Guide with updated content in an easier to use format, and we’d like your input!Īll Roar users- students, faculty, and staff- are invited to take a brief, five minute survey to help usĬlick here to take our Roar User Guide survey.Ĭomputational and data sciences are a fast growing mode of discovery, in addition to traditional theory and experiment, because they provides a unique virtual laboratory to investigate complex problems that are otherwise impossible or impractical to address.
