In today's world, computation has become a vital tool for scientific discovery. In many cases computational needs of researchers go far beyond individual workstation and require use of computing clusters also known as High Performance Computing (HPC).

The University Major High Performance Computing (HPC) facility is called Iridis. Since 2013 the University is running two Iridis supercomputers at the same time making it one of the top supercomputing sites in the UK. This service enables larger, broader and more complex computation than ever before - work that could have taken months or years now can be done in hours or days.

High Performance Computing technologies continue to change at a very rapid pace. As a result, it is critical to ensure that the right set of skills and expertise are available and aligned with growing demand.
