Research Computing Resources
The HBS local research computing environment, sometimes referred to as the HBSGrid, provides the HBS research community with a platform to scale up research computing, access storage, and utilize large databases to store and process data. The bulk of this page will focus on the HBSGrid, but please also note that there are additional research computing environments available to HBS researchers.
The HBS compute cluster (HBSGrid) is an advanced computing environment that provides high-speed, high-capacity computing resources to enable HBS researchers to effectively and efficiently conduct statistical analysis and programming.
Research storage is available for research projects with HBS members and guests, and can be used and accessed independently of the HBSGrid.
RCS hosts and provides guidance for a database server running MariaDB capable of handling large and complex datasets.
RCS provides guidance on additional computing environments such as Harvard’s Odyssey cluster and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
