High Performance Compute Cluster - hpc.uea.ac.uk

 

This page is currently being updated (16/02/18 - HPC Admin)

Prior to using the HPC service you will need to register for an account.  We aim to setup all new accounts within 2 working days.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

If you wish to connect to the HPC system from offsite you will need to connect to the UEA VPN service first i.e. vpn.uea.ac.uk and then follow normal ssh connection procedures (putty/terminal) to connect to the cluster. 

Further guidance about the UEA VPN service is available from the online wiki.

If you have a requirement to install specific software on the HPC cluster, please complete the following form.

Please note that whilst we attempt to complete all new application installations within two working weeks, this is not always possible.

The HPC cluster consists of the following components:
