Research Computing Tools and Services

Duke Research Computing provides comprehensive services to support computational and data-intensive research. Most services are available for use with public and restricted data. For research involving regulated or sensitive data, our Protect Network for Research (PNR) is available.

Goals

Our goals regarding Research Computing here at Duke include the following:

  • Reduce the burden on researchers to procure, build and support computational resources for projects
  • Shift computational technologies to greener solutions that support virtualization, sharing, and easy re-use
  • Enhnace availability of research computational systems
  • Ensure security compliance with evolving standards

Through Research Toolkits, Faculty, Primary Investigators (PIs), and PhD students can provision and organize a range of compute and storage resources for use with Duke research data, including many no-cost allocations. The resources available are designed to allow researchers to process data sets too large for an average computer, store data long-term to meet grant requirements, and host and analyze restricted or sensitive research data in a secure environment. No-cost compute and storage allocations are rapidly evolving as part of the Compute and Data Services Alliance (CDSA).

Primary Services

Research Computing provides a range of infrastructure and services, including:
