Slides of VSC training courses and sample job scripts are found in our GitLab.

The Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC) consists of several cluster systems that have been designed to satisfy the demand for High Performance Computing (HPC) of a consortium of Austrian universities.

Access to the VSC suite of high performance computers is granted on the basis of peer-reviewed projects which, beside scientific excellence, can demonstrate the need for extremely large computational resources.

The VSC service website has to be used for project application, project extensions, and to create user accounts. Please follow the guidelines outlined in project application and see the guide Creating and managing projects at VSC

VSC Training and Education is provided responding to the users demand for courses in the field of high performance computing.

Please acknowledge the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC) when you present or publish your results.

Project managers please add publications resulting from calculations done on the VSC to the publications database on the VSC service website
