The Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council-funded (EPSRC) high-performance computing (HPC) services provide access to a range of specialised computational capabilities that are not available at local university level. This call provides researchers with an open and flexible route to computational support for high-quality projects in EPSRC’s remit. It combines what was previously the ARCHER Resource Allocation Panel, the Tier-2 Open Access call and ARCHER2 Pioneers call. We expect that the call will open every six months. The HPC services can support a wide variety of activities. We particularly encourage applications that: involve early career researchers provide an opportunity to onboard and train new users significantly push the boundaries in computational research using HPC in your field You can apply for access to the following computing services: ARCHER2 most of the EPSRC-funded Tier-2 HPC services, including: Kelvin-2 (NI-HPC) Cirrus Bede (NICE) Baskerville Sulis

Physical Sciences and Engineering; Supercomputers

Eligibility Note Applicants must be resident in the UK and academic employees at lecturer or equivalent level at a UK HEI, research institute or independent research organisation. Research technical professionals, including research software engineers, are considered as academic employees and thus eligible to be PI or co-investigator. Students wishing to access the resources must seek an eligible PI to apply on their behalf. Each applicant is limited to being an investigator on at most one proposal to tier-1 and at most one proposal to tier-2. You cannot apply for EPSRC’s final Tier-2 service, the Materials and Molecular Modelling Hub (MMM Hub), through this process.
