Welcome to Viper!
Viper is the University of Hull's supercomputer and is located on-site with its own dedicated team to administrate it and develop applications upon it.
A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of computing performance compared to a general-purpose computer. It achieves this level of performance by allowing the user to split a large job into smaller computation tasks which then run in parallel, or by running a single task with many different scenarios on the data across parallel processing units.
