What is Roar Collab?
Roar Collab is the newest high performance research computing cluster managed by ICDS. Designed with collaboration in mind, the Roar Collab environment will allow for more frequent software updates and hardware upgrades to keep pace with researchers’ changing needs.
In time, Roar Collab will become the flagship cluster for Penn State researchers. The Roar cluster will remain but will be dedicated to serving the small portion of researchers who must comply with the stringent NIST 800-171 data storage standards.
