Welcome to the SoM HPC user documentation site. You'll find overviews, documentation, FAQs, and tips on the SoM HPC clusters.

Research Compute Cluster(RCC)

The School of Medicine Research Computing Center (RCC) collaboratively works with the Duke research community to identify, design, deliver, and support technological solutions for biomedical research.  The RCC provides a full-service high performance computing (HPC) center, including one-on-one consultations, pipeline optimization, training, and data management strategies to researchers across all departments.  See https://duke.atlassian.net/wiki/x/L4CtC for instructions on how to request access and connecting to this cluster.

Protected Research Compute Cluster (PRCC)

Protected Research Compute Cluster (PRCC) is a highly protected virtual network space that serves as a marketplace where approved users can work with identifiable protected health information. PACE simplifies the effort of obtaining EHR (Electronic Health Record) data from Duke Health enterprise data warehouse and Duke's Maestro Care (Epic) EHR system, while supporting collaborators from around the world with approved NetIDs. The marketplace offers a rich set of tools, services, and resources required by research and quality initiatives. Within the protected enclave, PACE users are provided the ability to select operating systems, analytic tools (e.g. R, SAS, Python), services (e.g. an Honest Broker or Transfer Agent service to securely release data outside of PRCC), compute and data sources.

The RCC and PACE clusters are managed and supported by OASIS Research Computing.
