The Digital Research Alliance of Canada (“the Alliance”) is a non-profit funded by the Government of Canada that serves Canadian researchers, with the objective of advancing Canada’s position as a leader in the knowledge economy on the international stage.

In the context of Advanced Research Computing (ARC), the Alliance provides high performance compute (HPC), storage, and cloud computing services free of charge to UBC researchers.

In this session, we will explore the various HPC and cloud computing resources available via the Alliance, how to gain access to and use these resources for your research projects, and how to apply for the annual Resource Allocation Competition (RAC).
