SHAREing HPC Testbeds
UK researchers have access to a vast number of testbeds and machines where they can quickly get access and trial new codes or ideas. Some of these machines have been procured through governmental grants such as the ExCALIBUR H&ES programme, some universities open up their systems to UKRI-eligible colleagues, and some commercial providers grant access to their systems in the Cloud, too. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of all the different opportunities. This page collects systems as well as some meta information such that it is easier for researchers to find the right system for the right purpose.
For each system, click its name to find out more about that system.
