Nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NSE) turbulence with defocusing nonlinearity
The study of NSE with defocusing nonlinearity has important application to Bose-Einstein condensates. The images show four spectral and spatial distributions of wave power at different levels of condensate. Credit: Prof. Natalia Vladimirova (Dept. of Mathematics & Statistics)

Research Storage Consortium
RSC' is an expansion of the UNM Research Storage Consortium (RSC) HP x9000/7400 enterprise storage system, providing a total of nearly 400 TB of usable research storage for UNM faculty, students, and research collaborators. The RSC is a consortium of five campus research organizations: CARC, DataONE, Earth Data Analysis Center, University Libraries, and Long-Term Ecological Research. RSC' also implements CARC's new large-capacity tape backup system.
BD2K
CARC premiered its "Big Data to Knowledge" (BD2K) video at the 2013 Supercomputing Conference (SC13) Technical Exhibition in Denver, Colorado, in November, 2013. The video highlights nine UNM researchers as they discuss the complexities and challenges involved in the process of translating very large datasets into new discoveries and understanding.
SC12
Prof. Susan R. Atlas, CARC Director, demonstrates interactive physics and perception experiments in immersive environments using a Wii interface at Supercomputing 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT. This collaboration with the UNM ARTS Lab, as part of the ARTS Lab's NSF-supported research project (grant #0917919) on fulldome experiences and applications, was led by Assistant Profs. Joe Kniss (Computer Science) and Pradeep Sen (Electrical & Computer Engineering).
Welcome to the University of New Mexico Center for Advanced Research Computing
The Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) is the UNM campus supercomputing Center and the largest academic computing center in the State of New Mexico, with over 2200 cores, 15 TFlops aggregate compute power, and nearly half a PB of RAID6 enterprise storage. CARC's resources are available without charge to all faculty, student, and staff researchers at the University, through support from the UNM Office of the Vice President for Research.
Located in the historic Galles Building, the Center has 2700 square feet of machine room space, and supports advanced hardware and software for a diverse community of researchers at the University, spanning five Colleges and more than twenty departments. Systems include dedicated machines, such as the Bethe Xeon Phi/NVIDIA GTX Titan platform for experimental code development in astrophysics and nanoscience, as well as an array of "community" clusters and parallel machines. These include the poblano 256 GB, 64-core SMP system, a shared-memory server for memory-intensive bioinformatics, computational biology, and multiphysics applications; the 200-node Galles 'green' Hadoop/high-throughput Beowulf cluster for bioinformatics and "big data" applications; and five production parallel machines: nano, Gibbs, pequena, Metropolis, and Ulam. The Center's newest supercomputer, Xena, designed for high-throughput, memory-intensive MATLAB and hybrid parallel applications, and suppored by an NSF MRI award, will come online this summer.
CARC’s mission is to enable excellence in research and scholarship in science, engineering, biomedicine, humanities and the arts, through support for parallel supercomputing, advanced visualization, research data storage and analysis, novel architectures, and by providing leadership to enhance interdisciplinary computing-based research and education at the University.
In addition to its computational resources, CARC hosts eight research groups, a techology/art gallery, a seminar space, a workshop room for computational classes and outreach, and a visualization lab. CARC also serves as the academic unit administering the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Certificate Program, a graduate degree certificate.
