What is remote research computing?

Remote research computing refers to the use of computing resources, such as high-performance computers or cloud-based systems, that can be accessed from anywhere via the internet. This enables researchers to perform complex data analysis, simulations, or computational experiments without being physically present at the location of the hardware. It is especially useful for collaborative projects, large datasets, and situations where local computing power is insufficient. Researchers use secure connections and specialized software to interact with these remote resources efficiently.
