Research support

Research support

The LMS computing facility provides, supports and maintains all IT provision ranging from installing software on devices to deploying complex and purpose-built networks and server infrastructure across the LMS.

As a first point of contact for any IT queries/issues, collaboration is a key function of the computing facility. We work closely with LMS research groups and facilities to provide technology solutions and provisions in order to support and evolve the LMS mission. Working closely with the Bioinformatics facility, we provision, upgrade and maintain a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster at the LMS to provide our research groups a platform for compute and GPU architecture. LMS Computing also collaborate closely with Imperial College and the NHS Trust to deliver a secure and reliable computing infrastructure to enable specific research requirements and objectives.
