Compute – IPPP WS Resources

The IPPP have several high-end compute systems available for use interactively called WS nodes. Since 2020 the roles of WS nodes have been split into CPU (Batch) and WS (Interactive). We also have some GPU systems available.

CfAI WS list has now moved to its own page.

Please take note that from 2026 not all systems are standard x86_64 CPU architecture, anything non-standard will be listed in the specifications.
