Much of our work is pretty computational/quantitative and involves large datasets. We have multiple computing resources and servers.  
Much of our work is pretty computational/quantitative and involves large datasets. We have multiple computing resources and servers. For any given project, you might not need it eventually.


;Hyak: Hyak is a supercomputer system that is hosted at UW but that the whole group uses for conducting statistical analysis and data processing. Hyak is necessary if you need large amounts of storage (e.g., tens of terabytes) or if you need large amount of computational resources (e.g., CPU time, memory, etc). ''Servers in Hyak do not have direct access to the Internet.'' (except for 'build' machines). That means that Hyak is not useful for collecting data from APIs, etc. Access requires a UW NetID but they will be sponsored for you. You can learn more about it at: [[CommunityData:Hyak]] which has various links to tutorials/documentation as well.
