The University of Sheffield has invested in excess of £3M providing a state of the art High Performance Compute cluster, Stanage, to meet the computational requirements of its researchers.

Stanage provides ~12,000 CPU compute cores, and 104 high performance GPUs (72 NVIDIA A100 & 32 NVIDIA H100 GPUs). Researchers will leverage this in-house resource to pursue advanced research in ML/AI, NLP, engineering applications and many other areas and advance the University’s status as a top flight research institution.

In addition, through the University of Sheffield researchers can access and get local Research Software Engineer support for the Bede ‘tier 2’ (regional) GPU-equipped HPC system. Bede has 32 GPU-equipped worker nodes that each have 4 V100 GPUs, and 7 GPU-equipped worker nodes, each with 1 GH200 GPU/CPU.
