Coming Christmas 2026
SecureWulf is being installed now. If you have a project that will need it, such as a dbGaP or All of Us controlled-tier award, or a data use agreement that requires NIST SP 800-171 controls, contact RCI so we can plan your project space ahead of launch.
Why SecureWulf is different
🔐Encrypted, isolated projectsEach project runs in its own encrypted virtual machines and storage, walled off from other projects and from the shared clusters.
⌨️A familiar HPC workflowTiCrypt works with Slurm, so you keep using
sbatch, srun, squeue and sacct. Jobs simply run inside your secure project.🧾Controlled, audited accessOnly approved project members get in, and access and activity are logged for the audit trail regulated projects need.

H200 NVL server4 × H200 NVL joined by NVLink, 64 cores, 1 TB RAM. For large-model training and inference and multi-GPU work.
RTX PRO 6000 server4 × RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell with 96 GB each, 64 cores, 512 GB RAM. For AI and machine learning, imaging and GPU-accelerated science.
Planned configuration. Final details are confirmed at launch.
Best suited for
- NIH controlled-access data, such as dbGaP genomic datasets and the All of Us controlled tier
- Projects whose data use agreement or funder requires controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171
- Sensitive or proprietary data and intellectual property
- AI and machine learning on sensitive data that needs GPUs

About compliance
TiCrypt is the technical foundation, not the whole answer. It provides encryption, isolation, access control and auditing. Meeting NIST SP 800-171 also depends on institutional, physical, personnel and procedural controls that Stony Brook's Research Computing and Research Security teams put in place around it. RCI works with each project on what its data agreement requires.
Getting access
SecureWulf opens by Christmas 2026. Access is granted per project, for approved projects and their named team members. To get ready, contact RCI with your project, data source and any data use agreement. New to HPC? Start with the get-started path; your Slurm skills carry straight over.
