Research Computing

All researchers use computers at some point in the research process and IT Services provide a wide range of services and support, from email to Tier 3 High Performance Computing. The Research Computing team provides training and one-to-one support so that you can make the most of the systems and resources provided at York. Whatever your level of experience, help is on hand to get you started and choose the right tools for your research or project.

Designed with the aim of making research easier, faster and more productive, our systems and resources could be of use to all researchers, regardless of discipline or research project. To discuss what help we can provide, email itsupport@york.ac.uk.

In addition to training and one-to-one support, The University of York recently invested £2.5 million in a new high performance computing cluster. The “Viking” cluster has been designed to meet a wide mix of research requirements, no matter what subject you study. Viking is free for all researchers, including postgraduate researchers, to use.
