The eXperimental Computing Facility is a group of (primarily) undergraduate students interested in the pursuit of computer science. Through project work and communication with other XCF members, we foster an atmosphere which helps develop an intimate understanding of software systems and their engineering.

As a non-ASUC sponsored organization, we rely on our members, the Computer Science Division, and corporate sponsorship to maintain and improve our computing resources. If you want to donate hardware to the XCF, please get in touch with our Director.
