Research Using CRC | crc.pitt.edu | University of Pittsburgh

Here you can find current proposals for research projects that rely on allocations of resources from CRC. You can an idea of the range and the volume of work at Pitt that relies on CRC - and these are only the projects that use the largest volume of compute time.
