Theory Compute Clusters

Sector machines

These are machines funded by the whole sector. They are available to anyone who is a member of the sector. Please ask the computer officers to make you an account.

• Tardis, a cluster of dual-core Opterons with Infiniband, for larger parallel jobs

Research group machines

These are funded by particular researchers. If you want an account on one, ask the owner of the machine or their group's computer rep to set you one up via the delegated management system.
