Access to HPC or “Pump priming” access

Due to the imminent end of life, Baskerville is not available for new Access to HPC or “pump priming” projects.

Consortium member access

Members of the Baskerville consortium are not eligible to apply to use Baskerville under Access to HPC, however each institutional member has an allocation of resource made available and they should use the process defined by their institution.

Members of the University of Birmingham should see the “University page on HPC facilities” for details on how to request access to Baskerville.
