Rosen Center (RCAC) notes

The Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC) is preparing to install a new community cluster later this spring. Configuration and demand information is being collected in anticipation of the purchase. If you are interested in buying in to the new cluster, please see the Interest Survey.

If the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing plays an integral part in the completion of your research, through computing support, cost sharing, or consultation, all Principal Investigators and their collaborating researchers will be asked to acknowledge RCAC research support in any publications, presentations, and proposals. To do so, we recommend using a statement similar to the following:

"This research was supported in part by agreement #________ through computational resources provided by Information Technology at Purdue—the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing, West Lafayette, Indiana."

Researchers are also asked to inform the Rosen Center Allocation Team at rcac-info@purdue.edu whenever any such research receives professional exposure. This information is extremely important in enabling RCAC to continue supporting Purdue researchers and planning for their future computational needs.
