Powerful computational tools to accelerate your research.
The Duke Compute Cluster (DCC) is a generalized high-performance computing (HPC) resource that supports research at Duke University. It accommodates a wide range of computational needs, from interactive sessions using tools like MATLAB, RStudio, and Jupyter Notebooks, to massively parallel workflows for large-scale computations.
Computing and storage allocations for faculty labs and PhD 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.

Upcoming Live Training
This 1-hour session introduces Duke PhD students to essential tasks for using the Duke Compute Cluster (DCC), including logging in, transferring files, and accessing computing tools like Jupyter, RStudio, and MATLAB. It is tailored for students who receive an annual no-cost allocation for computing and data storage, enabling the analysis of large datasets beyond standard computer capabilities.
