Geographical Information Systems (GIS)聽
For over two decades RCC software developers have been creating GIS based applications to map聽spatial聽data. In addition to utilizing GIS as a visualization tool, RCC has also developed modeling software to solve problems including a) temporal distribution projections of oil spill plumes and b) communication tower locations to optimize first responder radio coverage across the state of NH. The most recognized RCC GIS tool is the NOAA funded Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA庐) that served as the Common Operational Platform to manage the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. This tool聽continues to be in use today, and聽integrates static and real-time data to assist federal agencies in responding to environmental disasters.聽
High Performance Computing (HPC)聽
RCC鈥檚聽Lenharth聽Data Center is home to multiple HPC clusters supporting research from sub atomic modeling to space physics.聽Premise聽is RCC鈥檚 current central shared HPC cluster and is based on the 鈥渂uy in鈥 model. This is a common model used across higher education that let鈥檚 Principal Investigators聽have priority access to the nodes they purchase but also enables researchers without funding聽to聽access the cluster.聽A new Cray supercomputer was installed in the 1 Leavitt Lane data center named marvin, acquired through a 2020 NSF MRI under grant AGS-1919310. Additional information regarding these clusters is located here:聽

The 鈥淏ioMade鈥 cluster went live in 2019 with 24 nodes and 228Tb of disk space. RCC provides the system administration support for these clusters including security, parallel file systems, power, cooling, and job queue management. We also provide facilitation support for faculty in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture.
