Welcome

It is assumed that new GIGA members will either come with their own personal computer (PC) (whether Windows based PC or Mac) or be provided with one (ULiège-owned) by their laboratory.

It is also assumed that, in addition to the use of their PC, some members of GIGA will require access to high performance computing facilities (including large disc space) to perform their work.

The aim of this document is to provide concise information to new and old GIGA members on how to get started with both PC and GIGA’s high performance computing facilities.
