Carleton College offers both on-campus high-performance computing and support to connect with other high-performance computing facilities at other universities.

Computational Research Users Group (CRUG) Cluster

In 2018, the college used NSF grant money to set up a small, research-focused, high-performance computing cluster, and a group of faculty and staff started the computational research user group (CRUG).
