Find out how to contribute to the University's flagship HPC cluster and take advantage of the benefits that it brings.

All CSF3 users should now be using the new scratch file system and ready for the turn off of the old one on the 17th February 2021.

Find out more about our new Edge Compute Service - an alternative computational resource.

Find out more about Computational Shared Facility 4 (CFS4), also known as ALAN (Advanced Linux Algorithms and Numerics) - a brand new platform at the University

Mark Lundie, Research Infrastructure Engineer in Research IT, helped Dave Topping’s research group to use Julia on the CSF – a move that could benefit many researchers across the University.

Do you use our SSH/X2GO gateway (nyx servers)? How you log in will be changing on 3rd of August

The University’s main compute resource, the Computational Shared Facility (CSF), reached a major milestone last month. Find out more about the service and how you can get access.

As datasets increase in size the need for more memory in your available compute hardware becomes more pressing. Applications such as R, Stata, python and MATLAB are often used to process these datasets and can require significant amounts of memory - to load the dataset, process it and generate results.

Welcome to the first instalment in a series of “Hints and Tips” from our expert research software engineer and research infrastructure engineers with the aim of making your research that little bit easier to do! In this article Ian Cottam looks at how to transfer your files between the various Research IT computational resources if you use Apple macOS or Linux.

Are you a Humanities researcher? Would you like to be able to repeat a simple computing task several times but don’t want to use your own machine to do this? By using the UoM computational shared facilities (CSF) you can offload your jobs to the high performance computing (HPC) facility. This will allow you to save space and resources on your own machine to work on something else.

Find out how a research group in the School of MACE are using our HPC resources in conjunction with those at The Hartree Centre, to help Unilever tackle business challenges and to develop new and better products.

We have recently made some significant changes to our computationally intensive research (CIR) platforms, DPSF and CSF2. Find out what has changed and how this will affect your research!
