Advanced Research Computing Service

We provide a comprehensive Advanced Research Computing (ARC) support service for researchers in all faculties at the University of Leeds. The service consists of a large High Performance Computing (HPC or Supercomputing) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation which are too large, too complex or too time consuming to be performed on a Desktop PC. In addition, we can support researchers in the use of Cloud...

Archives Hub

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 370 institutions across the country, it is an effective way to discover unique and often little-known sources to support research. New descriptions are added every week, often representing collections being made available for the first time. Researchers can use the Hub to instantly scan the archival landscape and bring together diverse sources held in repositories across the country. The...

Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting Infrastructure and Services

The set of AAAI (Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting Infrastructure) services operated by Jisc provides a national framework for the management of access to RII resources across the UK. This framework includes authentication of an individual user of a RII; authorisation of that user to access RII resources; and, where appropriate, accounting for that use for charging or for auditing purposes (for instance where there are compliance implications such as those around access to sensitive...

Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford

The Bodleian Libraries mission is to provide an excellent service to support the learning, teaching and research objectives of the University of Oxford; and to develop and maintain access to Oxford's unique collections for the benefit of scholarship and society. The Bodleian has been collecting material for more than 400 years and currently holds more than 12 million printed items, over 80,000 e-journals, and some 56,000 linear metres of outstanding special collections. These include rare books...

Data science - Intelligent and effective use of data

From mapping the spread of disease to monitoring climate change, data holds the key to solving some of the world's biggest challenges. It also promises to deliver improved productivity, helping companies streamline their processes, make improvements and maximise their output. Dependable decisions rely on understanding the provenance and reliability of data.

Our data scientists are working to help organisations analyse and use data...

Equipment.data

Jisc’s equipment.data is the national equipment portal, which lists over 17,000 items of equipment from 57 institutions, including universities and research institutes (http://equipment.data.ac.uk/status). Having begun as a project at the University of Southampton, Jisc has transitioned equipment.data to a national service. Jisc is now undertaking development of the equipment sharing infrastructure for the UK research sector. The aim is for Jisc, institutional stakeholders and researchers to...

N8 CoE in computationally intensive research (N8 CIR)

Computationally intensive methods, High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), are essential enablers of world class research across most disciplines. N8 CIR is a platform of HPC/HPDA methods, skills and facilities - as Centre of Excellence (CoE) - to underpin the strategic research objectives of the N8 universities: providing a competitive edge by extending the boundaries of the possible. It includes: building communities of practice focused on selected N8...
