P1 NGC HPC

Waiting List

We are currently in the process of tackling some requirements related to the setup of data processing agreements. We are not onboarding new users until this is in place. You can still sign up now to be placed on the waiting list, and we'll keep you updated on the progress.

Overview

The P1 NGC HPC is hosted at the National Genome Centre and is designed for secure data processing with GDPR compliance. It provides a secure environment for handling sensitive data and research projects.

Getting Access

Before accessing the P1 NGC HPC, you must first register to become a member of P1 by filling out this form.

Each project needs to bring a record (a signed Data Processing Agreement should do) that explicitly mentions NGC as a data processor and that the data is allowed to be stored there.

  • If the project poses a high risk to individuals whose personal data is being processed a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) will be needed also.

Account Setup

Complete and sign the NGC user creation form and forward it to the Compute Coordinator to request access.

  • You will be added to the NGC slack channel once you gain access.

Accessing the Cluster

The P1 NGC HPC is an air-gapped system requiring:

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • A client for accessing the remote VM entrypoint
  • Specific access instructions will will follow after registration. But you can expect to use SFTP for the transferring if data into the system.
