The Advanced Computing Facility (ACF) is located at the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center (ITTC) in Nichols Hall, and provides a 20-fold increase in power to support a diverse range of research. The facility houses high performance computing (HPC) resources and, thanks to a $4.6 million renovation grant from the NIH, has the capability of supporting over 24,000 processing cores. A unique feature of the ACF is a sophisticated computer-rack cooling system that shuttles heat from computing equipment into the Nichols Hall boiler room, resulting in an expected 15% reduction in building natural gas use. Additionally, when outdoor temperatures drop below 45 degrees, a "dry-cooler" will kick in, slashing electricity consumption by allowing cooling compressors to be powered down.
 
The ITTC Research Cluster is located in the ACF, and provides HPC resources to members of the center. The cluster uses the Slurm workload manager, which is an open source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and job scheduling system for Linux clusters. The cluster is composed of a variety of hardware types, with core counts ranging from 8 to 20 cores per node. In addition, there is specialized hardware including Nvidia graphics cards for GPU computing, Infiniband for low latency/high throughput parallel computing, and large memory systems with up to 512 GB of RAM.
