High performance computing
The University’s HPC (High Performance Computing) facility is a Linux-based computational cluster consisting of multiple servers configured to work together.
The cluster can perform large amounts of computational work in a relatively short space of time.
It’s useful for genomics, simulations, machine learning, molecular modelling, and large volume data analysis but can be used to speed up almost any computational job, particularly where you need to run something multiple times, for example repeat simulations.
