The SFU Research Computing Group assists SFU researchers with harnessing High-Performance Computing platforms and other digital research infrastructure, locally, regionally and nationally.

Our goal is to pair SFU-lead research projects with RCG Research Development team members, who are often subject matter experts, to develop custom software and platforms, using development best practices that will help accelerate research outcomes.

The Research Development team members are supported by the Systems Analyst team who are experts in the field of automation and system administration.

As a result, the two teams combined help the research community to achieve more sustainable and stable software solutions.
