Advanced course on 9 November 2017

If you already have any experiences in working on the HPC, then you can join the advanced HPC course on 9 November, from 9.00-12.00 hrs. During this advanced course you will receive tips & tricks on speeding up working with the HPC. More information on this advanced course and how to register can be found on the webpage.

High Performance Computing Cluster (HPC)

With the advent of more powerful and effective scientific instrumentation, the complexity and amount of data being generated is exploding. The ability to process, analyze and ultimately act on this data is becoming a critical element of research success. Whether it be used for modelling, simulations, analysis or visualization of data.

The HPC is designed as a high available and versatile platform. Whether your job needs lots of memory, raw compute power or enormous storage demands, this HPC can handle your requests.
