Computational Resources

In collaboration with Yale Health Sciences IT (HSIT) and the Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS), YBIC provides a range of computational infrastructures, platforms, and services. For clinical studies involving Protected Health Information (PHI), there are two pre-approved platforms at YNHHS: the YNHHS High Performance Computing Cluster and Computational Health Platform (CHP) for large-scale data analysis, imaging data, and AI research, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for studies utilizing traditional statistical analysis tools. For projects utilizing de-identified clinical data that does not include patient images or text, we also support for Spinup at YU, a self-service, AWS-based cloud environment that enables rapid configuration of computational needs. Additionally, we are developing the managed Spinup+ service, aimed at fully adhering to stringent information security standards including NIST 800-171 and HIPAA compliance.
