Department of Biostatistics 
Computing Resources
Members of the Biostatistics department have several options available to them for compute intensive tasks.
The Department of Biostatistics provides a high performance computing cluster for faculty, students and researchers.
We currently have 19 nodes with a total of 264 physical cores available. The cluster is managed with the
Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM). To request
an account and learn how to use the cluster please read the documentation.
There is a pool of compute servers available from both the department and
the School of Public Health for compute intensive tasks. This pool of
servers is available at no charge to all within the School of Public Health. More information is available from
SPH Informatics and Computing Services technical guide
'Which UNIX machine should you use?' document.
The Center for Advanced Computing runs a High Performance Computing cluster
environment for researchers at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus and their collaborators. Access to this
cluster (known as FLUX) requires the purchase of
an allocation on a per month per core basis. Please contact cac-support@umich.edu to request
an allocation.
