ITS Research Computing is a relatively new Department with the goal of providing URI researchers access to cutting-edge computing equipment (HPC/AI/Data/Quantum), software and offering hands-on training, support and consultancy to enable computational research.

Services & Resources

 What’s New?

Other Related Resources

Here are some services offered by various other URI departments and organizations, which often are relevant to researchers:

  • URI Library AI Guide: Resources related to AI use, tools, etc. for faculty/staff are maintained by the URI Library.
  • URI VPN Service: This is often needed for accessing some servers and services from off-campus and abroad. If you’re planning to travel abroad and need this service, it’s especially important to set this up ahead of time, before you leave — it’s quite difficult to set up while abroad.
  • Consultation on related IT services (VPN, security, secure data transfers, SSL certificates, etc.)
  • Safari (O’Reilly) Online Books and Videos: A great collection of technical reference books and some training videos on a wide variety of technical topics — e.g. programming, data science, artificial intelligence, etc.  The URI Library has acquired access for anyone with a URI email address.
  • URI ITS Training Courses: Periodically offered introductory courses covering a wide range of topics, including the Google Suite, draw.io, Excel, Video management and caption, and more!
