Computing Resources
Curta is the central HPC system of Freie Universität Berlin. The cluster started operation in March 2019 and has been designed for problems which require a moderately large amount of maim memory and/or a large number of cores. In addition a number of nodes provide GPU cards.
Curta can only be accessed within the FU network. If your computer is outside the network you will need to use a VPN.
