Our HPC facilities at Newcastle University have different access and funding models. Some of our facilities operate under a split free-access / funded-access model where a certain amount of resources are reserved for users without funding or who are working on activity to pump-prime further projects.
As a result, whilst everyone is able to access the HPC facilities, in order to access the larger pool of resources in several of our facilities, you will need to allocate funding using the standard University TRAC system for HPC services.
If you understand the type of resource your computation requires then you can select it from the list below and generate a costing for your project or research activity.
You can also jump straight to the costing tool if needed
