About us

We provide high performance computing services for researchers who need additional computing power to solve complex problems.

We also work with clients and partners outside the University through a range of outreach activities and play a key role in Supercomputing Wales (SCW), which provides High Performance Computing facilities to academia across Wales.

Our team is available to support you with your research needs through a range of services. We also offer expert advice, guidance and training in using the facilities.

We provide access to supercomputing tools and resources including computer simulation and modelling, manipulating and storing large amounts of data, and many other methods to solve research problems that would otherwise be impractical.

Management

Governance

We are governed by the Cardiff Supercomputing Facilities Steering Group and the ARCCA Operational and User Group.

The Cardiff Supercomputing Facilities Steering Group includes senior academic staff who provide strategic direction on HPC developments within Cardiff University. They ensure that our priorities are consistent with the requirements of the research community and wider university strategies.

The ARCCA Operational and User Group provides advice and guidance on user needs and requirements of the research community. Group members come from Schools from across Cardiff University representing a wide range of research disciplines.
