Getting Started Get Support

Students work on computers in a classroom in a Research Data and Computing workshop.

RCD In Action

“Palmetto compute resources allow my students and I to explore a much wider range of ideas through computational experiments than we possibly could on our devices. This, in turn, helps us arrive at more compelling findings that we feed into publications, grant proposal activity, and future research directions.”
