Software

The FAS Research Computing group offers tools for researchers to tackle large-scale computing challenges. Odyssey, Harvard’s largest supercomputer, gives users over 2.5 Petabytes of raw storage, more than 17,000 processing cores, and numerous software modules and applications. Research Computing can also host and create scientific applications not already on the Odyssey system.

 

Visit the Research Computing website to learn more about their services, software, and trainings. You can also use their searchable documentation database to track down specific information on Odyssey.

Research Computing’s bioinformatics core helps researchers conduct large-scale sequence analysis on the Odyssey cluster, provides high level biostatistics support (e.g., determining the significance of results from high-throughput microarray experiments), helps interpret results of high-throughput sequencing, and annotates genomes.
