1.) Basic laptop
Start with whatever device you use every day, such as a basic laptop.High-performance computing
The College of Engineering, Design and Computing is a hub of opportunities for students and faculty to work at the cutting edge of technology. The college has created strategic partnerships for High-Performance Computing resources, offering infrastructure for processing large amounts of data and simulations. We recommend following the progression below to identify which resources are best for your project and find information on moving forward.
2.) Powerful desktop
($)
The next step up is a powerful desktop designed to run large simulations. Cost should range between $2000 - $3000.3.) RMACC Summit
RMACC Summit offers a free high performance computing environment to all CU researchers. Start here if local computing isn't enough for your project.4.) TICR (Rosalind)
($$)
TICR (Rosalind) on the Anschutz Medical Campus can support HIPAA data. Use this if you need to meet strict security requirements.5.) Health Data Compass (Eureka)
($$)
Eureka can support HIPPA data using Google Cloud Platform. Come here if you need the security of Rosalind but more power.6.) Cloud
($$$)
If none of these resources are powerful enough to meet your needs, it's time to head to the cloud. Contact your IT staff to learn how.
