This publication outlines NERC policy on access to high performance computing at the national ARCHER 2 service and at the Joint NERC/Met Office Monsoon2.
It also includes guidance on applying if you are seeking a NERC research grant for work that requires access to high performance computing.
Note the ARCHER2 service end date is 21 November 2026. HPC provision for ARCHER2 is not guaranteed after this date. Where you require HPC provision after November 2026, you are advised to explore alternative provisions such as other UKRI provisions or commercial HPC services.
