Advancing Research Through Computational Science
The Center for Computational Sciences enables UK researchers through high-performance computing, AI, data systems, and expert research support.
Just Getting Started?
Request a consultation with the CCS team for research computing, HPC, AI/ML, data, storage, or related computational needs. Tell us briefly about your research and what you are trying to accomplish.
We will review your request and work with you to identify the appropriate approach and resources.

How CCS Helps Researchers
Run Simulations
Parallel compute for modeling, simulation, and high-throughput workflows.
AI & ML
GPU resources and guidance for training, inference, and experimentation.
Data & Storage
Move, store, and work with large research datasets efficiently.
Research Software Help
Porting, optimization, containers, environments, and troubleshooting.
Transfer Data (Globus)
Fast, reliable transfers between campus, cloud, and national resources.
Training & Onboarding
Workshops, office hours, and getting-started pathways.
AI-Powered HPC Support Assistant
The CCS HPC Support Assistant answers questions about jobs, SLURM scripts, partitions, storage and quotas, modules, Open OnDemand, and accounts. Sign in with your UK LinkBlue credentials through CILogon. Pick a cluster (LCC, MCC, ECC) or General, and with a cluster account it can also pull live queue and node status.
Verify critical information against the official CCS documentation and use the feedback buttons on responses. The assistant runs on CCS on premises resources and locally hosted models, so your questions and chat history are not sent to any external AI provider.
