The Center for Advanced Computing (CAC) delivers high performance computing, grid infrastructure, very large data storage, and advanced visualization services through the College of Engineering and throughout the University of Michigan.

With over 1000 processors, two high-speed switches for fast networking and terabytes of storage, the CAC can provide resources for most any computation problem you may have. If your problem is bigger than what we can handle, we can probably help you find resources more fitting for your problem size.

Please explore this site, starting with the Getting Started section to see how to get an account and start using the resources we have.

Lastly, if you have questions or concerns, please email us at cac-support@umich.edu.
