Supercomputer nears shut down

The UK's high-performance national supercomputer Hector is close to being shut down and researchers should be taking their data off the machine, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has said.

The EPSRC said in a statement on 4 March that it was important that all data was removed “in good time” before the shut down on 21 March.

The supercomputer’s successor, the Advanced Research Computing High End Resource, or Archer, began work in December 2013. Researchers who need assistance transferring files should contact the Archer helpdesk.
