Purdue University Research Computing

The Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC) operates all centrally-maintained research computing resources at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. A division of Purdue IT, the Rosen Center gets its name in memory of Saul Rosen, who served as director of Purdue’s Computing Center from 1968 to 1987 and who helped to establish Purdue as a pioneering academic institution in high-performance computing. You can learn more about him in a biography of Saul Rosen.

RCAC provides advanced computational resources and services to support Purdue faculty and staff researchers. We also conduct our own research and development to enhance the capabilities of these resources.
