Research Computing
Transform and Improve the Way We Learn, Live, and Work
PIER Group designs and supports a complete ecosystem of users, partners, software developers, and researchers, all unique to the higher education environment.
We have worked with some of the most prestigious national labs and higher education institutions in the United States. We’ve propelled university computing systems onto the TOP500 supercomputers list, and implemented smaller, highly specialized clusters for others. Our long-standing clients include major research universities including University of Illinois, Indiana University, Michigan State University, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, Purdue University, University of Notre Dame, University of North Dakota, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville and the University of Chicago, among others.
Creating a High-Performing Research Computing Infrastructure
Designing a research technology computing and storage infrastructure for higher education takes specific expertise. The typical corporate enterprise cluster may have four or five use cases. A university cluster will have hundreds. At PIER Group, we design high-performance research technologies and data centers that can handle anything from linguistics research to obtaining an image of a black hole.
No Two High-Performance Computer Configurations are Exactly Alike
The objective of every PIER Group project is to provide your institution with the opportunity to gain a competitive edge with whatever research you do. We’re amazed by the academic research of our clients to further learning in the arts, sciences, and all the disciplines that improve our world.
