All USC students, staff, and faculty have access to the Center for Advanced Research Computing's systems for their research projects. CARC offers different types and sizes of computing and storage resource allocations for these projects

In order to access CARC's systems, you must either be the Principal Investigator (PI) of a research project or an authorized member of a PI's research project.

Storage

All active projects are eligible for a storage allocation on the CARC /project file system. Storage allocations are measured using disk space in terabytes (1 terabyte is equivalent to 1,000 gigabytes). Each PI can request up to 10 TB of storage across their project(s) at no cost.

If more than 10 TB is needed, a PI can request additional storage space at a cost. Additional storage can be added in increments of 5 TB, and the current price is $40/TB/year. For example, when a PI requires 20 TB total of space, the annual cost for the data storage space will be:

20 TB per year = 10 TB free + (10 x $40/TB/year) = $400 annual cost
