In collaboration with other units on campus, ITS-Research Services supports the Argon High-performance Computing (HPC) system, which features ~16,000 CPU processors and more than 300 GPU accelerators.

Accounts on the Argon HPC system are available at no cost to UI faculty, staff, and students who conduct research. Faculty members may sponsor access for research collaborators who are not part of the UI community and may purchase dedicated compute node capacity for their groups.
