News and Events

Welcome back for Fall at MIT.

We'rel returning to a bi-weekly newsletter, bringing you more details about our new team members, our developing ORCD vision of research computing, and idiosyncratic news from science and other parts of academia.

Announcing a strategic collaboration, and signing of a formal memorandum of understanding between the OpenMind project and the Office of Research Computing and Data, (ORCD).

ORCD news and updates for May. 

Just as 2022 ended, two remarkable results came out that will impact research computing in the long run.

In the last few weeks, we have finalized the membership of the Committee on Research Computing and Data (CRCD), and on December 9th, we held our first meeting.

Helping the MIT research community serves as a mission element for ORCD and I’d like to direct your attention to useful and important IAP classes.

Check out the recent article about ORCD and MGHPCC from our friends at Gazettenet.

In this letter, we write about SuperCloud from the perspective of a newbie user, Peter Fisher, and a pro, Lauren Milechin.

I am writing to tell you about the new MIT Office for Research Computing and Data (ORCD)¹. As ORCD’s inaugural head, my aim is to reach all of the research computing stakeholders across the Institute to ensure they know about this important new resource, and this message constitutes the first step in doing that.

We have worked with partners at MIT and beyond to develop ORCD’s early vision.
