Overview

The University provides free resources and support for research involving high performance computing (HPC), including multiple server clusters for storing and analyzing data. Find out more information at https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/ResearchServices/Eddie.

This guide will help you access and use the UCSB server clusters effectively.

Use cases for HPC include:

big data
parallel computing
lengthy computation times
restricted-use data

For a broader introduction to HPC with clusters, see the HPC Carpentry’s lessons at https://hpc-carpentry.github.io/, or work through the exercises

Please acknowledge the Eddie in publications and presentations if you are using the clusters in your research.
