Computing & Facilities

Compute access from School to national scale

Beyond our in-lab hardware, the group draws on high-performance computing at School, University, and national level:

  • Dedicated GPU server — 2× NVIDIA H200, hosted by the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (CMS)
  • ALICE — the University of Leicester’s High Performance Computing cluster
  • Isambard-AI (project access) — the UK’s national AI supercomputer, powered by NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips
