Computing
We provide the MRC WIMM with a high performance computing platform, offering researchers efficient ways to store, analyse, collaborate and publish large data sets. In addition, expert staff install complex bioinformatics packages that can be used by all researchers and provide help and advice in their usage.

Our Computing infrastructure
The CCB cluster infrastructure is undergoing a process of transition from a legacy system running a CentOS 6 based environment with the Sun Grid Engine batch system to a more modern CentOS 7 based system running on new hardware.
This core high-throughput analysis cluster is surrounded by supporting infrastructure including a range of web and application servers, virtual machine hosting, and backup storage.
