Mission
Research Computing empowers UVA researchers to achieve more with cutting-edge computational resources. Our support team strives to create innovative solutions for researchers who need help solving complex optimization, parallelization, workflow, and data analysis issues. We build and maintain the University’s best computing platforms while educating the next generation of researchers on the power of advanced computing.
Research Standard Storage
Overview Research Computing offers several budget options for storing public and internal use research data. Information Security at UVA provides details about data sensitivity
classifications.
The Research Standard storage provides users with a solution for research data storage and collaboration. Members in the same group have access to a shared directory created by
the team lead or PI. Group membership can be defined and managed through Grouper (requires VPN connection). Research Standard storage is mounted on the Rivanna HPC cluster and can also be accessed on a personal computer with an SMB
mount, allowing for point-and-click file manipulation.
If you are not a researcher, UVA ITS offers Value storage for long-term storage of large scale data.
Rivanna HPC Software
Overview Research Computing at UVA offers a variety of standard software packages for all Rivanna users. We also install requested software based on the needs of the high-performance computing (HPC) community as a whole. Software used by a single group should be installed by that group’s members, ideally on leased storage controlled by the group. Departments with a set of widely-used software packages may install them to the lsp_apps space. The Research Computing group also provides limited assistance for individual installations.
For help installing research software on your PC, please contact Research Software Support at res-consult@virginia.edu.
Software Modules and Containers Software on Rivanna is accessed via environment modules or containers.
