Welcome to your support documentation for High Performance Computing at Newcastle University.
The wiki is divided into several main categories:
Each category has several pages of documentation arranged around a common theme, if you don't know where to start looking then you can also use the search box at the top of the left menu bar which will search through all available documentation.
If you are new to HPC at Newcastle University, need to find out how to register, how to add the costs of these services to your project, connect to our facilities or write your first HPC job to run by Slurm, this is the best place to start.
Do you want to understand how to write a more efficient Slurm job? What do all of the different sbatch headers mean? Is there particular guidance needed for a specific application in order for it to run on the HPC? What other HPC facilities are there?
The RSE team offer bespoke workshops for introductory Linux/unix and HPC training.
You can find all of the agreed policies for use of the High Performance Computing facilities here. This includes topics such as terms of use, data retention and archiving and support agreements.
The University HPC facilities are supported by the Research Software Engineering team, but we welcome contributions from all Newcastle University HPC users. This section details how you can contribute to this wiki.
How to contact the Research Software Engineering team for further information and how to request help on specific HPC issues.
