About our High Performance Computing facility
Find out about what HPC is and how it's helping University researchers process and analyse very large data sets and perform complex computational tasks.
High Performance Computing
Our mission is to facilitate departments and faculties across the University to use our Balena HPC cluster for their research.
Our Service
Find information about our HPC facility, how to access it and how your research can benefit from using it.
Using the High Performance Computing service
We provide a range of support and consultancy services to help users of all skill levels use the HPC for research.
HPC - Introduction to using the service
This training course is available for researchers wanting to use the HPC service. You'll learn how to schedule jobs and manage your workload.
Annual HPC Symposia
High Performance Computing Symposia are held every June to allow current and prospective Balena HPC users to network and discuss research.

About us
Our High Performance Computing (HPC) service can be used by researchers to do large or complex computational tasks in a range of fields. Researchers come to us with models and simulations their desktop computers or laptops do not have the capacity or capability to compute. You can join the community of academics doing great things, or find out more at one of our yearly symposia.
