The HPC3 service will be ended on 31 Jan 2026. Users are highly recommended to use HPC4 services which are available for applications by Principal Investigators at this webpage. All HPC3 users are required to migrate their work to HPC4 as soon as possible for continued support and to avoid service disruption. Please refer to the announcement for details.
To facilitate the transition from HPC3 to HPC4, several arrangements have been made available. Feel free to reach out to hpc4support@ust.hk if you need assistance.
HPC3 cluster is designed to cater for for CPU-intensive computational jobs and jobs requiring GPU coprocessor support. It is open to all approved university researchers but all HPC3 hardware contributors have higher access priority.
