- 40.5 training days delivered in 2017-18 academic year, providing ~630 researcher training days.
- 6 two-day Software Carpentry or Data Carpentry workshops providing training opportunities to a further 108 researchers in a range of computational and data science skills.
- We have over 14,000 processor cores with a total 50Tb RAM and 46 GPUs for use by University of Leeds researchers
- There are just under 1,000 University of Leeds users (Approximately 1/3 of our resarch population)
- We now have about 2-3 times the number of active users of the ARC service than we did 5 years ago. Since investment in both people and equipment has remained static, the amount of support and resource available per researcher has dropped.
- We are probably heading for a contraction in the number of cores next year as quite of kit is getting old and we have insufficient investment to replace at a similar level.
- We have also been running an additional 5,500 cores as a regional machine on behalf of the N8 Research Partnership (soon to be decommissioned)
- 500 external users of the N8 machine.
- The IRC provides trained and authorised researchers with monitored access to datasets which they can manipulate and analyse. Using a safe haven that prevents unauthorised copying, with RSA 2-Factor secure ID authentication technology.
- With 640 cores (600 useable) with 3.52TB RAM (2.64TB useable) and 1.79PB Storage (716TB useable) compute infrastructure.
- Citrix virtual research environment (VRE) with integrated research applications and tools including; Python, R, Stata and Microsoft SQL Server, plus many more.
- ISO 27001 certification
