Who are we?
iCER’s goal is to make advanced, high performance computing useful to students and researchers at MSU. We provide access to a large number of computers (over 1500), large amounts of disk space, high speed networks and other specialized equipment. We also offer help on how to use this specialized equipment, to further research in anything from history to particle physics.
