Partner cyberinfrastructure¶
CARC connects UNM researchers to national cyberinfrastructure. When your research outgrows campus resources — or needs capabilities we don't host — these platforms are the next step, and CARC staff can help you get started on any of them.
-
ACCESS-CI
The NSF's Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: one allocation system for national supercomputers, clouds, and storage. Start with an easy Explore allocation and scale up.
-
Jetstream2
NSF-funded, always-on cloud computing for research and education, led by Indiana University. Virtual machines, GPUs, Kubernetes, and science gateways through ACCESS allocations.
-
CyVerse
Open science workspace for data-driven discovery: the Data Store (iRODS), Discovery Environment apps, and cloud-native analyses, operated by the University of Arizona and TACC.
-
MESA
An NSF NAIRR research-infrastructure project building an open platform where scientific data are automatically described, organized, and connected by metadata-aware AI agents.
How CARC fits in¶
CARC operates UNM's on-premises HPC clusters and storage (systems overview) and is expanding into on-premises cloud (OpenStack), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and data management (iRODS) services that interoperate with these national platforms. If you are unsure which platform fits your project, come to office hours and we'll map it out together.
