Compute

There are multiple types of resources you may need. This page is about finding a place to run heavy calculations on: it shows a flowchart how to determine the computational resource you can use, followed by an overview of all resources.

Why is this a useful resource?

This page is the only page that combines all the computational resources of all the different providers.

How is this list generated and updated?

On a daily basis, the update_content.yaml continuous integration script checks the websites of the course providers and updates the list, using the scoreto R package.

A compute provider is missing!

If a compute provider is missing, please contribute or contact us.

My compute resource is absent!

If your compute resource is absent, please contribute or contact us.

My compute resource can be displayed better!

If your compute resource can be displayed better, please contribute or contact us.

How can I read this data is a machine-friendly format?

This information can be downloaded as a .csv from the scoreto R package.
