Computing Resources
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data Center offers high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure and petascale storage to support the ARM User Facility's next-generation atmospheric model simulations and enable users to perform big-data analytics and machine learning in atmospheric research.
The ARM Data Center provides a colocated data and computing platform that lets users work with large volumes of ARM data without the need to download them. Its heterogeneous and flexible computing architecture supports both conventional physics-based model simulations and advanced data analysis, including machine learning.
Users with an active ARM account can request access to ARM’s HPC facility, which integrates a range of computing resources and storage systems.
Types of Computing Resources
Cumulus High Performance Cluster
The Cumulus cluster is available for users to conduct ARM-approved science projects that involve working with large volumes of ARM data, applying computationally intensive codes to ARM data sets, or analyzing high-resolution model output.
ARM Data Workbench
This interactive data-computing ecosystem presents tools for users to find, download, stage, visualize, manage, publish, and understand ARM data.
Open-Source Tools
ARM supports open-source software and community code for the scientific community and ARM infrastructure staff. Members of these groups can also contribute their own code for use by others.
