HPC Research Funding

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.

The access method for Comet is different to Rocket - contribution of funds will allow access to significantly greater range of resources than are available for users without funds.

For full information on the differences between free/unfunded and paid/funded resources, see our "Do I Have to Pay?" page on the new website:

If you are interested in including Comet HPC costs in your future projects, you can now access our interactive cost modelling tool:
