Accelerated Computing

The ASC support team can provide significant effort to your project through Accelerated Computing as part of the IM&T eResearch Program. We can assist with porting software to HPC environments, code profiling and optimisation, workflow analysis and optimisation, code debugging and numerical error analysis, and general HPC consulting. There are regular Accelerated Computing Workshops held to provide training for using HPC facilities.

Software

ASC provides a large range of commercial and open source software. There is no direct charge for use of this commercial software. In the future, sustained use may require a financial contribution. dddd

Support

The ASC support team is available to assist with getting started on HPC systems, choosing an appropriate facility to use, provide guidance on using software, and can help to resolve technical issues. There is also assistance available for porting, debugging and tuning code. Additionally, workflow, data management and parallel programming expertise is also available. Engagement with researchers can be casual or ongoing, depending on the requirements. dddd
