ARCSIM

The Advanced Research Computing, Security, and Information Management (ARCSIM) unit, part of the University of Maine’s (UMaine) Coordinated Operating Research Entities (CORE), works to support the entire University of Maine System research community and its collaborators by providing resources and sourcing solutions tailored to researchers’ specific needs.

ARCSIM (formerly Advanced Research Computing – ARC) was formed in May 2019 to extend research computing services to University researchers. In May 2021, ARCSIM was expanded to include Information Management and Data Security services.

A network of partners has been established, including partners that are capable of providing advanced, cloud-based computing solutions, such as the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and the Ohio Supercomputer Center. National supercomputer centers provide researchers with access to massively parallel computing platforms, often eliminating the need for expensive local resources.
