Research Computing

Research Computing is the team inside IT Services that gives Georgia Southern researchers access to HPC and cloud research resources to advance their research needs. Whether you’re running simulations, working through massive datasets, or building models that need real horsepower, we help you move that work onto Talon – our high-performance computing cluster – and get it running faster.

How We Can Help

Talon HPC Cluster – Linux-based HPC cluster, for general-purpose computing – including support for unfunded research and academic projects.

Consultation – Not sure what you need yet? Talk to us before you submit a grant or funding request, and we’ll help you scope the right computing and data resources for your project rc@georgiasouthern.edu

Parallelization of Workloads – Parallel computing can dramatically speed up research by running processes simultaneously. We’ll look at your submission scripts and code to help optimize how your jobs run on the cluster.

Virtual Servers – Need dedicated server infrastructure for a research application? We can support that through our virtual server environment.

Data Storage – We can provide research data storage for use across the university.

Our Mission

We’re here to make high-performance computing a real advantage for Georgia Southern’s researchers and students – giving faculty and students access to the computing, data, and visualization resources their research needs, and working alongside them on the technical side of their projects. 

“Simulations taking weeks to run now become days and hours. I really appreciate what you did.”
