What is the Research Desktop (RED)?

The RCResearch Desktop (RED)Graphical interface providing access to Quartz supercomputer RC Research Desktop (RED) is a graphical interface that provides access to Indiana University’s high-performance computing (HPC) systems, eliminating the need for users to work directly with the command line. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, RED is especially helpful for researchers new to HPC environments, those who prefer a more visual interface, or those transitioning from desktop computing to IU’s powerful computing infrastructure.

RED enables users to run analyses, manage files, and utilize a range of research software tools on RCQuartzQuartz is IU's high-throughput computing cluster RC Quartz and RCBig Red 200Big Red 200 is a supercomputer designed to support scientific & medical research RC Big Red 200 , all within a familiar desktop-style environment.
