DeiC Interactive HPC - UCloud is a high performance computing (HPC) facility focusing on interactive use and easy access.
It provides the user with extensive computing power, storage, and memory for when their personal computer is no longer sufficient. Interactive HPC allows for easy access to high performance computing and many pre-installed programs and apps, similar to what users are familiar with from their personal computer. This type of HPC is therefore the natural first encounter with HPC for many users.
Users can access Interactive HPC from any location via a web browser. However, users must always ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulations. Unlike traditional HPC facilities, users of Interactive HPC can interact with (edit/stop/start) their script, code etc. at any time making it easy to experiment and correct mistakes.
Interactive HPC is available to all staff and students affiliated with AU. Users can easily collaborate with employees from any of the Danish universities due to WAYF login. It is also possible to include international collaborators through an authentification process confirming the collaborater's identity. All kinds of collaboration across institutions must be preceded by collaboration agreements between the institutions.
