What is the DCC?

The DCC is a generalized parallel computing cluster for research support at Duke. Computing and storage allocations for faculty labs and doctoral students are provided at no cost for most researchers. If analysis needs exceed those allocations, there are flexible options to increase resources through a buy-in model or for modest fees.
