Welcome To Viper!
Viper is the University's supercomputer in 2024 , often termed an HPC (or High-Performance Computer).
It is located on-site with a dedicated team to operate Viper and support users.
- New user
- Existing Users
A supercomputer has a much higher processing power than a general-purpose computer. Viper is composed of:
- 180 compute nodes, each with 28 processing cores and 128GB of memory
- 4 high memory nodes with 1TB of memory
- 5 GPU nodes with 3 Nvidia A100s, 4 A40s and a twin P100.
- 2 Visualisation nodes
Why is Viper useful?
- Many jobs can be run at once.
- These jobs can be split into tasks and run in parallel.
- Or these jobs can be run with many different scenarios in parallel.
- Using Viper frees up your personal computer.
- Viper has significant resources that your desktop computer does not.
Who might use Viper?
Viper is currently being used for:
- Astrophysics
- BioEngineering
- Business Analysis
- Computer Science
- Geographical research
- Artificial Intelligence
- And many more
