The Research Computing and Cyberinfrastructure (RCC) team within the Office of Information Technology empowers SIU’s computational research. At the heart of RCC resources is BigDawg, SIU’s High-Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC), capable of 34.7 TeraFLOPS, delivering speeds comparable to the world's leading academic clusters. Unlike larger institutions where HPC access is limited and often scheduled, SIU offers BigDawg free of charge to all researchers and supervised students upon request, ensuring flexible, unrestricted access to support diverse research needs.
