Support
IT Services provides a range of facilities, services, expertise and training to support research computing at The University of Manchester.
Computational Facilities
IT Services offers a range of facilities designed to meet the different computational needs of researchers across campus. Whether you have a requirement to run serial, parallel, high memory or long-running jobs, IT Services has an established research infrastructure to accommodate your needs.
Visualization
We can provide a range of High Performance Visualization Resources including large curved-screen immersive projection theatres, integrated tiled displays and portable stereoscopic units, all of which are available to University researchers.
Cluster Management
As well as hosting both the local HPC service and regional North West Grid service, IT Services provides operating-system administration and management of HPC and Grid computers for departmental systems within the University.
Access Grid
IT Services installed the first Access Grid node in The University of Manchester in 2001. There are now over 15 Access Grid nodes on campus, allowing staff to collaborate with multiple groups on research projects, as well as attend meetings which would entail time consuming travelling. In addition we host the Access Grid - Video Techhnology Advisory Service.
