About Research Computing Club

Research Computing Club at the University of Washington is a registered student organization that exists to support student computational research. RCC uses funding provided by the UW Student Technology Fee (STF) to provide access to UW's supercomputers Hyak Klone and Tillicum and to provide cloud credits for student use. RCC also works with its partners UWIT and the eScience Institute to provide training and support for users of these resources.

Resources

RCC manages student priority access to computing resources on Hyak Klone, providing access to CPU-only computing nodes and GPU-accelerated nodes. See our current equipment holdings on Hyak Klone. RCC also supports student access to AWS cloud computing credits and Tillicum GPU cluster. These resources are available to students who want to learn and explore, need computing resources for their research project, or need computing resources to take their capstone project to the next level.
