<h3>Stanford Research Computing Center</h3>
<li>The <a href="https://srcc.stanford.edu">Stanford Research Computing Center</a> (SRCC) is a joint effort of the Dean of Research and IT Services to build and support a comprehensive program to advance computational research at Stanford. That includes offering and supporting traditional high-performance computing (HPC) systems, as well as systems for high throughput and data-intensive computing. The SRCC also helps researchers transition their analyses and models from the desktop to more capable and plentiful resources, providing the opportunity to explore their data and answer research questions (on-premise or in the cloud) at a scale typically not possible on desktops or departmental servers.</li>
<li>We use xCAT to deploy and maintain the <a href="https://www.sherlock.stanford.edu">Sherlock cluster</a>, Stanford's shared HPC cluster that features over 25,000 CPU cores and supports over 4,000 users.</li>
