NDSU's Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) was established in 2003 to provide access to secure, advanced scientific computation resources for the university's researchers and their private and public sector partners. The center also gives NDSU the ability to participate in its own program of advanced computation and networking research, allowing the school to assume an international role in the development of improved programming and networking methods.

The University of North Dakota (UND) Computational Research Center (CRC) is dedicated to helping researchers affiliated with the University of North Dakota solve increasingly challenging problems in science and society. By supporting high performance computing hardware, software, and staff through the Division of Research, the University provides quality computing resources to researchers and faculty involved in creative activities which require intricate numerical modeling and data-intensive simulations.
