The SOM Information Technology Services department provides a variety of computing resources to the SOM Community. SOM IT provides research computing needs for complex and computational analysis and statistics.
Getting Started with the SOM HPC Cluster | SOM is implementing a new HPC cluster with much greater capabilities compared to our existing research cluster. Currently, the HPC cluster consists of 16 compute nodes, each running dual AMD EPYC processors (128 cores), at least 512 GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GPUs (RTX 8000 and A100). Totals for the cluster include 1,664 CPU Cores, 7.8 TB of RAM, and 39 GPUs. Additional nodes will be added in the first quarter of 2024. | |
You will find the SOM Research and Statistics support services here, including on-boarding information, general support and frequently asked questions | ||
SOM Custom Research Applications | SOM IT supports the faculty in a variety of ways, including creating custom data structures, databases, and applications to administer the structure, collect and input the data, and contextually display it. | |
Research Data and Governance | The SOM Research Computing committee governs the purchase of data for the SOM Community so that the benefit is maximized to the entire school. You can also find the list of data sets SOM already has access to for research purposes. | |
Center for Science and Social Science Information (CSSSI) | A service outside of SOM at Yale is The Center for Science and Social Science Information (CSSSI). CSSSI is located in the Kline Biology Tower and provides Yale faculty, students, and staff with state-of-the-art information services in a technology-rich environment. It is designed to provide easily accessible support for science, social science and interdisciplinary researchers. This is part of the University Library System, they provide tutoring and workshops which may be useful to the SOM research community. | |
The Yale Center for Research Computing (YCRC) | Another resource available to the research community is The Yale Center for Research Computing (YCRC), a component of the Provost’s Office, which supports an interdisciplinary approach to the development and application of advanced computing and data processing technology throughout the research community. It offers High Performance Computing as well for which you would need an additional account, and jobs are queued. Contact us for a discussion on whether your project would be suitable for this environment. | |
Surveys with Qualtrics | Yale SOM has a subscription to Qualtrics, an online platform for creating, sending and managing surveys. |
