The mission of NACS Research Computing Support (RCS) is to facilitate access to and promote the effective use of computational resources available to UCI researchers. The group provides consulting, training, and outreach in the use of hardware and software. Hardware resources promoted by RCS include: NACS administered Beowulf clusters, the Krein supercomputer, and other supercomputer systems and data storage arrays available at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Software resources include: ArcGIS, Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, LabVIEW, SAS, SPSS, and LaserGene.
RCS staff members are trained in research disciplines and possess an awareness of methodologies and techniques used in research computing. Frank J. Wessel, Ph.D., manages RCS and remains active in fusion-energy research in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Tony Soeller, M.S., is an expert in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Additionally, both team members are available to support faculty with their grant writing activities.
