High-performance computing
The Research Computing Group at the CUNY Graduate Center implements and supports Open Source Linux research computing facilities at the CUNY Graduate Center, and provides assistance with research computing to research groups within The City University of New York (http://www.cuny.edu). For our purposes, research computing includes high-performance computational clusters and related technology; recently research computing has taken on web-enabled statistical computation and open source journal projects for the social sciences. Research Computing operates under the aegis of the Office of the Vice President for Information Technology and External Programs at the CUNY Graduate Center
Open Source
Our philosophy is to use Open Source software wherever possible; see Why Open Source Software? Look at the Numbers! and How to Evaluate Open Source Software by David A. Wheeler. Research Computing LAMP projects continue to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of running LINUX/Apache/MySQL/PHP web servers. The initial LAMP web sites were developed in April 2005 for the for the social sciences.
