Creating a more robust, secure, and efficient research computing environment
In summer 2025, Advanced Research Computing completed one of the largest upgrades ever made to its high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, consolidating to five purpose-built HPC clusters, expanding its software stack from 300 to 700+ packages, and deploying a new biomedical research cluster.
This strategic reorganization of assets empowers the Virginia Tech research community to tackle diverse scientific challenges, from AI and large-scale simulations to biomedical discovery and defense-related research, with greater computational speed and confidence.
