High performance computing solutions :

Sometimes the performance of your computer is not sufficient to analyse your data and you need a high-performance computing solution. There are several solutions available at UCLouvain :

  1. Interactive computing servers, with two machines configured for statistical analysis and managed in collaboration with the SMCS : https://www.cism.ucl.ac.be/doc/_contents/Interactive/index.html
  2. On-site computing clusters which offer the power of hundreds of computers : https://www.cism.ucl.ac.be/doc/_contents/Computing/index.html
  3. Off-site computing clusters hosted at other Belgian universities, or even clusters at regional or European level, via the CECI consortium : https://www.ceci-hpc.be/

You can find more information on these different solutions, as well as documentation and training courses, on the CISM  (Center for High Performance Computing and Mass Storage) website : https://uclouvain.be/en/research/cism
