Supercomputers solve super complex problems
New workshops and trainings
New workshops and trainings continue to be developed to complement the Office of Advanced Research Computing’s (OARC) diverse expertise and growing offerings to the university research community. Recent examples include GIS trainings, the weekly open workshop, and collaborations with the New Brunswick libraries.
Caliburn: A supercomputing resource for the Garden State
This supercomputing resource, which has modeled everything from blood flow to shock waves, is specifically intended to benefit academic institutions, industry, and state offices within New Jersey.

Building the internet of the future
OARC and WINLAB are joining the Renaissance Computing Institute of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and other partners on a $20-million NSF-funded project to create a platform for testing novel internet architectures that could enable a faster, more secure internet.
Amarel: Advanced computing to revolutionize science and scholarship
Designing a rapid test for COVID-19 or a medication that’s targeted to an individual patient’s genetic makeup? Amarel can help with that, and it keeps getting more powerful.
Over 2,700 students, researchers, and faculty work and learn on Amarel.
Interactive data science environment consisting of Jupyter notebooks, RStudio, and Desktop
Spans three Rutgers data centers (Piscataway, Newark, and Camden), producing a unified compute, data, and storage system
CPU hour usage is increasing dramatically year over year. The surge in Amarel CPU hour usage is a testament to the power of the computing cluster and the trust that researchers have in OARC.
