Welcome to LiSC - Life Science Compute Cluster
The Life Science Compute Cluster (LiSC) is a high-performance computing infrastructure for bioinformatics and computational life science. It is particularly friendly to life scientists who are not computing specialists. The cluster can be used for data analysis as well as method development and evaluation.
The Life Science Compute Cluster provides research data storage with and without daily backup, interactive nodes, CPU compute nodes, GPU compute nodes, high-memory compute nodes, job scheduling, helpdesk and many other services.
