About SCV

The Office of Information Technology’s Scientific Computing and Visualization (SCV) group provides specialized computing and communication resources in support of computational science and engineering, scientific visualization, computer graphics, and other disciplines that require high-performance computing, networking, or graphics. Typical applications include scientific and engineering simulation, data analysis and visualization, image manipulation, and the graphic and fine arts.

The SCV computing facilities include parallel supercomputers, computer clusters, high-performance workstations and servers, and high-performance networks. SCV manages these resources in close collaboration with the University's Center for Computational Science (CCS), an interdisciplinary center that fosters computational science research and education in the Boston University community.

The SCV Staff are available to assist members of the BU community with getting access to our resources and making the best use of them. Please contact us with any questions you have.
