New NIH Genomics Data Management Policy
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued updated data management policies, which introduce new security standards in the Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy.
Advancing Research Through Computational Science
The Center for Computational Sciences enables UK researchers through high-performance computing, AI, data systems, and expert research support.
New: AI-Powered HPC Support Assistant (Pilot)
We have launched an AI-powered HPC Support Assistant for CCS clusters, now in pilot. Try it at https://chat.ccs.uky.edu/ and sign in with your UK LinkBlue credentials through CILogon. Ask about jobs, SLURM scripts, partitions, storage and quotas, modules, Open OnDemand, and accounts. Pick a cluster (LCC, MCC, ECC) or General, and with a cluster account it can also pull live queue and node status.
This is an early trial, so verify critical information against the official CCS documentation and use the feedback buttons on responses. For urgent or account-specific issues, open a ticket at the CCS support portal. The assistant runs on CCS on premises resources and locally hosted models, so your questions and chat history are not sent to any external AI provider.
The current system status is:
Operational
No active incidents
