Cirrus is a state-of-the-art advanced computing facility available to industry and academia
Cirrus is one of the EPSRC Tier-2 National HPC Facilities and is available for users in both academia and industry.
Housed at EPCC's Advanced Computing Facility, Cirrus is a flexible, state-of-the-art High Performance Computing system that provides an ideal platform for users to solve their computational, simulation, modelling, and data science challenges.
The EPSRC funding for the Cirrus service ended on 31st March 2025. EPCC plan on operating the Cirrus service until later in the year in an at-risk, unsupported mode. If there are any major system issues we may need to end the service during this period.
Due to a significant Health and Safety risk, associated with our power supply to the site, that requires action at the ACF, there will be a full power outage to the site from Friday 29th August - Monday 15th September. Specialised external contractors will be working on a 24/7 basis for the outage period replacing switchgear.
Where you go next depends on what you are looking for. For potential users we have information on how to apply for access to Cirrus and for current users you can find documentation and support to help you get the most out of Cirrus. You can also find more information on the Cirrus facility.
