ARC (Advanced Research Computing) is a free service supporting the high-performance computing and data management needs of UBC researchers. Along with national partner, Compute Canada, ARC offers services for large data projects requiring massive high performance computational power for which standard computing infrastructure like desktop and laptop computers are not able to handle the processing. ARC’s services are open to all disciplines and faculties, including Land and Food Systems.
This information session is organized as an introduction to UBC ARC (Advanced Research Computing) and Compute Canada. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the services ARC offers and how to apply to use their computing services.
For more information about ARC at UBC, please visit arc.ubc.ca.
