The Cooperative Computing Lab

ccl-fall-2025.jpg

We design software that enables our collaborators to easily harness large scale distributed systems such as clusters, clouds, and grids. We perform fundamental computer science research that enables new discoveries through computing in fields such as physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, biometrics, and data mining.

All of our software is open source and available on GitHub. We are always eager to welcome new collaborators—whether you want to explore our software, contribute to development, or receive support. Explore our tools to see how they can power your distributed computing needs, and visit the getting help section if you need assistance.
