Some reasons for using HPRC resources?

WARNING - Backups

WARNING - Using desktop/laptop computers for research (you should understand the risks)

HPRC Resources - Use Cases

I want a place to archive, protect, or work on all my research data

I want a resource where I can run my software with as little interruption as possible (a virtual desktop like resource)

I want to increase my computational research productivity (parallelising my computations)

I've decided to use the HPRC cluster, what software is available?
