Services

Our staff is here to assist the community in effectively utilizing high-performance computing, visualization, and network resources. System consultants help in the use of the supercomputing systems, their various programming tools and packages, and data management. Scientific programming consultants offer assistance in program parallelization, performance measurement, and code tuning. They also provide help with numerical methods and computational techniques. Graphics consultants provide assistance with the use of graphics and visualization packages, the development of custom computer graphics tools, the application of graphics algorithms, and the conversion of data into effective graphical representations.

In addition to our computational and visualization facilities, we host the Access Grid Conference Facility at Boston University. This facility is one of many nodes on the Access Grid, a suite of hardware, software, and tools to facilitate collaboration over the Internet. At the Access Grid Conference Facility, you can participate in lectures, seminars, tutorials, and conferences on topics related to high-performance computing.

Access to SCV's consulting, training, and educational services are generally offered free of charge to all users of the facilities. The Access Grid Conference Facility is an exception to this and does charge for some uses of the facility.
