Virtualisation
For those buying servers, we strongly recommend you consider virtualisation when provisioning new services. It saves on the proliferation of hardware, so is environmentally friendly. Depending on application our desktops can support a number of virtual hosts without any significant overhead. Each could be running services that traditionally would have been run on dedicated physical hardware. Running a virtual service on your own DICE desktop can also help to get a service going without buying new hardware.
GPU and cluster computing
This page lists the GPU and other compute clusters which are available to users in the School of Informatics.
Why use GPUs for computing? See the GPGPU Computing page. To learn how to do it right, see the GPU cluster tips page.
