  • Mission Statement

    Research Computing at Kennesaw State University (KSU) promotes research utilizing high performance computing infrastructure for faculty, researchers, staff, and students by fostering secure and ethical computing, processing and data analysis while promoting diversity, collaborations and outreach. 

    • Vision Statement

      Research Computing aims to provide algorithmic, data-oriented, machine learning and architectural solutions for faculty, researchers, and students besides providing high performance hardware and software resources to promote research at KSU. Beyond making high performance computing resources available to researchers, Research Computing aims to collaborate with the faculty in writing proposals and participate in solving problems that require high performance computing. Moreover, Research Computing aims to build a network of researchers who are or plan to be involved in high performance computing to foster research and proposal submissions at KSU.
