Hero

Computing and Analytics for Frontier Science

We build advanced cyberinfrastructure supporting the largest scientific instruments probing the most fundumental questions of nature.

Hero

Our (admittedly frivolous) name is a nod to the University of Chicago’s first computer, MANIAC III. Built in 1961 at the Institute for Computer Research, MANIAC III, short for Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator, and Computer (Model III), was a second-generation machine that replaced vacuum tubes with solid-state components. It was developed under the leadership of Nicholas Metropolis (SB 1937, PhD 1941), who carried forward and extended computer designs he had helped build at Los Alamos after World War II.

Accelerating Collaborative Science

The MANIAC Lab supports multi-institution scientific collaborations through innovation of intelligent data delivery services, scalable analysis systems, machine learning platforms, data analytics and high throughput computation.

Collaborating with the MANIAC Lab

We work with researchers and scientific collaborations at every scale and at any institution.
