DCV Remote Workstations

DCV Windows Remote workstations.

A few specifically designed high-performance nodes with GPU cards for visual interaction and computation are located in the Data Center and ready for you and your data to be challenged with.

They are equipped with the special remote visualization software called DCV and managed through Office 365 Calendar booking system and high-performance computing web-portal EnginFrame. 

You need access to the clusters in order to access your data on Bucket. If you don't already have that, please Apply to HPC Open Resources.
