Computational Resources at UGA

Georgia Advanced Computing Resource Center (GACRC)

The GACRC provides high performance computational (Sapelo2 cluster) and data storage resources for UGA faculty, students and staff.
A Wiki site is available that contains multiple links that are helpful for answering most questions regarding GACRC and its resources.
To access Sapelo2 resources, UGA faculty must first request creation of a lab account.
The PI can add group members by submitting a User Account Form. Access to Sapelo2 can also be requested for non-UGA collaborators.
All new Sapelo2 users must either complete a Sapelo2 training module or demonstrate proficiency with both Linux and the Slurm job scheduler.
The GACRC also offers several training workshops including basic Linux, Python, R, and Perl.
Teaching resources, including instructional accounts, are available.
Proposal submission information and contacts for a faculty “Buy-In” program for prioritized access to computational resources are available.

Geneious software is available through the IOB to UGA researchers, both on and off-campus.
The GACRC maintains a large collection of scientific, engineering and business applications. After logging into Sapelo2, a list of currently available software can be viewed with the ml av command. New software requests can be made via the GACRC service catalog.
UGA’s Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) distributes a number of software packages free to UGA employees, including Adobe, ChemOffice, EndNote, MatLab, Mathematica, Microsoft, and SPSS, to name a few.
The University System of Georgia (USG) provides software for work and home at discounted prices through its Technology Store.
