Collaborators & Service Providers
Powering innovation through collaborative partnerships to combine resources, expertise, and networks in order to achieve greater efficiency and impact by working together.
Internal Collaborators and Service Providers
At Harvard University, we collaborate with our internal partners to lead research computing initiatives and bring about innovative solutions across the campus.
External Collaborators
At Harvard University, we foster innovation by collaborating with external partners to enhance research computing services and exchange valuable insights to overcome existing gaps.
Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC)
A decade ago the MGHPCC consortium formed a $95 million, 90,000 square foot, 15 megawatts compute center in Holyoke, MA, with the space, power, and cooling capacity for more than 750 racks of computing equipment on a single shared floor. The resulting advantages of this facility and partnership are a simple operational model for cost efficiency and the ability to build out services that would not otherwise have been possible.
MOC Alliance
The MOC Alliance will create an open production cloud that provides domain researchers with predictable low-cost resources and facilitator support while also enabling academic researchers and developers in the open source community to participate in the kind of close collaboration between research, development, and operations that has resulted in so much innovation in today’s public clouds.
Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC)
WHPC encourages women’s participation in the HPC community by providing fellowship, education, and support. A Northeast chapter comprising Harvard, Yale, Boston University, Northeastern University, MGHPCC, and Dell is being formed to address regional gaps and capitalize on the pool of Research Computing professionals in the area. The chapter will also help institutions respond to opportunities and needs as they invest in building out RC resources and services.
Campus Research Computing Consortium (CaRCC)
The Campus Research Computing Consortium (CaRCC) is an organization of dedicated professionals developing, advocating for, and advancing campus research computing and data and associated professions. Current focus areas include building a community among research computing and data professionals, connecting the broader research computing and data ecosystem, professionalization and workforce development, and defining stakeholders and shared value propositions for the community at a time of accelerating change.
RCD Nexus
The RCD Nexus is CaRCC’s Research Computing and Data resource and career center and focuses on creating tools, practices, and professional development resources to support individuals and institutions working in computing, data, networking, systems, software, instrumentation, and most of all, the people who support all this.
The United States Research Software Engineer Association (US-RSE)
The US-RSE is a collaborative initiative that unites individuals involved in developing and enhancing research software in the US. Its mission is to establish an inclusive and supportive community comprised of members from diverse backgrounds, including those from universities, laboratories, knowledge institutes, companies, and other enterprises.
