Thanks to funding support from UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR) and collaborative expertise from ITS Research Computing, the campus is about to launch “Elkhorn,” an advanced computing system offering more power and flexibility for research.
“Elkhorn opens many new possibilities in high-performance computing for climate researchers across campus,” said David Gutiérrez-Barceló, a senior coastal modeler with CCCR. “It will support research to understand climate risks and solutions with atmospheric simulations, computational fluid dynamics, genetic analysis, ecological models, and many other workflows.”
Nearly two years ago, Gutiérrez-Barceló joined a small team tasked with developing a new breed of resources to support UC Santa Cruz’s robust climate-research initiatives. The team spent months deep in conversations with researchers, studying resources available at other universities and national facilities, and analyzing the current market.
