UITS provides high-performance computing systems which are dedicated to research: the Big Red cluster  and the Quarry cluster. These systems are configured to optimize stability and throughput for CPU intensive, I/O intensive, and/or memory intensive jobs. Use of these systems is restricted to IU faculty, graduate students, or faculty-sponsored undergraduates. Another resource for research computing is the Research Database Complex which supports large MySQL and Oracle databases.

The High Performance Systems (HPS) group supports Indiana University's teaching and research mission by providing, and facilitating the use of these centralized research computing resources. We strive to offer resources and services that are high-quality, reliable and accessible.
