The Schorr Center, located just west of Avery Hall, is the new home of all Research Computing Facility personnel. It houses all RCF resources in a newly remodeled machine room. The Schorr Center was completed in late 2007. The facilty provides 18,434 square feet to consolidate areas of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering previously located in two other areas on campus and a leased space off campus.
The Research Computing Facilty provides campus-wide services to researchers who need high performance computing resources. PrairieFire, a powerful supercomputer located in the facilty, is used by scientists and engineers to study topics such as nanoscale chemistry, subatomic physics, meteorology, crashworthiness, and artificial intelligence. PrairieFire, is also used by students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for several courses.
If you would like more information about the Research Computing Facility or you would like to request a tour of the facilty, feel free to contact us. You may request an account on a particular machine by visiting our new users page.
