We’re working to build a thriving research computing community at Leeds.

Throughout the year we host a variety of networking events, aimed at facilitating peer-to-peer learning and collaboration.

Explore Community

We strive to deliver self-service support for users of our HPC (High Performance Computing) infrastructure via our comprehensive platform documentation. We are continuously working to improve this documentation to save you time and optimise your utilisation of the platform.

"Working with the RSE team means that we can draw on expertise and skills to ensure that the software tools we develop to solve real research problems are robust, scalable and reproducible. It’s certainly something I’ll be doing again."

Dr Dan Birks

School of Law
"Having easy access to HPC systems at Leeds, close to network storage and systems used for post processing and analysis, is a valuable asset which greatly assists in the speed of processing data, analysing output and publishing the results."

Richard Rigby

School of Earth and Environment
"Being able to run simulations at speed enabled us to experiment with many different parameters in order to improve the accuracy of our climate change prediction model in different scenarios."
