As of April 2025, all of the on-premises and centrally managed advanced compute resources are available through the chip HPC cluster. The enterprise research storage that’s connected to the cluster and made available to researchers is discussed on the Storage page. The advanced networking that enables high performance computing is discussed on the Networking page. For help using the cluster, including questions about access and accounts, see the “User Support” menu item above.
