About the Rocket HPC service

Rocket was Newcastle University's first institution-wide HPC (high performance computing) service.  

Rocket will be decommissioned during late Summer 2025. The replacement, significantly expanded, HPC service is named Comet and will become available shortly before Rocket is removed (anticipated July/August 2025).

All of our HPC support information is provided by the dedicated HPC Support Portal: https://hpc.researchcomputing.ncl.ac.uk - which is now operated and supported by the Research Software Engineering team.

The new HPC Support Portal provides legacy information on Rocket, the replacement Comet service and general HPC information, documentation and training.

These web pages are now obsolete - please refer to the HPC Support Portal as noted above.
