Center for Research Computing

Research Computing consists of the infrastructure, applications, expert staff, policies, and other resources required to support computational and data-intensive activities related to research.

The New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Center for Research Computing serves New York University Abu Dhabi’s researchers, faculty, and students by providing them with High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Research Computing services and support to enable them to conduct world-class and innovative computational research and education.

In alignment with NYU Abu Dhabi’s vision of becoming one of the world’s great research universities, we will push the boundaries of computational research and become a world-class Center for Research Computing.

  • The strategy for the Center for Research Computing focuses on four key areas, all having strong alignment with NYU Abu Dhabi’s core mission, vision, and core goals.
