Support for users of Indiana University's research cyberinfrastructure is provided by various UITS Research Technologies units.
The High Performance Systems (HPS) team operates and supports IU's research supercomputers. For documentation on each system, see:
If you have a system-specific question, contact the HPS team.
UITS Research Data Services operates and supports IU's Research Database Complex (RDC). If you have a question about an RDC account or database, contact RDC Administration.
The Research Storage team operates and supports the Scholarly Data Archive (SDA), and home directory and Geode-Project space on IU's research supercomputers. If you have questions about the SDA, or your home directory or Geode-Project space, or need help with HPSS tools, such as HSI and HTAR, contact the Research Storage team.
The High Performance File Systems (HPFS) team operates and supports the Slate and Slate-Project high-performance file systems that are mounted on IU's research supercomputers. If you have questions about using your Slate or Slate-Project space, contact the HPFS team.
The Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL) team operates and supports advanced media and interactive visualization systems and facilities that help IU researchers extract knowledge from their data, and enable IU students, educators, and artists express their creative visions. If you have questions about using an AVL system or facility, contact the AVL.
The Research Applications and Deep Learning (RADL) team manages the site licenses for the scientific, statistical, and mathematical applications available on IU's research supercomputers. If you need help or have questions about using any of the programming tools, or scientific, statistical, or mathematical applications on IU's research supercomputers, contact the UITS Research Applications and Deep Learning team.
The National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) provides support for the bioinformatics and genome analysis software available on IU's research supercomputers. If you need help or have questions about using the bioinformatics and genome analysis packages at IU, contact NCGAS.
UITS Geographic Information System (GIS) Services provides access to GIS and remote sensing software, and technical support to users. For technical support or questions about GIS and remote sensing software across all IU campuses, contact UITS GIS Services.
Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL) consultants help with visualization, interaction, and advanced media software used in AVL facilities. To request help, contact the AVL.
The Research Applications and Deep Learning (RADL) team provides programming support to IU researchers, and can help migrate, optimize, and parallelize your advanced scientific code. To request programming support for your research project, contact the UITS Research Applications and Deep Learning team.
The RADL, NCGAS, and AVL units also offer short- and long-term consulting services to help IU researchers effectively use scientific, statistical, mathematical, bioinformatics, genome analysis, and visualization software. RADL staff also provides extended consulting for researchers facing complicated, sophisticated programming challenges.
