# HPC Brain Cluster

The **HPC Brain Cluster** (also referred to as **HPC Brain-Cluster**) is the high-performance computing infrastructure provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] for the Universität Greifswald to support complex calculations, computational tasks, and research.

## Operational Details
Technical documentation for the cluster is provided exclusively in English and covers the following areas:
- **Apphub**: A centralized hub for applications.
- **Access**: Specific login procedures for cluster entry, managed via a specific [[hpc-login]] process.
- **Data Management**: Protocols for transferring data to and from the cluster.
- **Execution**: Workflows for running computational applications.

## Related Services
- [[apphub]]: Cloud-based programming environments and virtual desktops.
- [[hpc-login]]: Authentication and access procedures.
- [[run-applications]]: Execution of computational tasks on the cluster.

## Support
Support for the cluster is integrated into the general [[campus-it]] support framework. Users experiencing technical issues with the cluster or data transfer can contact the URZ via:
- **URZ Hotline**: Extension **1420**.
- **Ticket System**: Hosted on the [[groupware]] platform.
