Accessing the GPU nodes¶
Access is permitted to QMUL researchers upon request. Note that access to GPU nodes is not permitted for Undergraduate and MSc students. Please raise a support ticket by emailing its-research-support@qmul.ac.uk with a brief overview of intended use, an example of a typical job submission script, and links to any software repositories, so that we can verify that the jobs will use the GPUs correctly. Please see the using GPUs section for advice on submitting GPU jobs.
