Driving research excellence
Northumbria teamed up with Lenovo and Logicalis to deliver a world-class high-performance computing (HPC) facility. Based on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers powered by AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series processors, the new Higgs cluster will support research that shapes knowledge and scientific practice around the world.
Customer Problem

The Higgs cluster marks a new chapter for Northumbria, giving researchers across the University access to cutting-edge HPC resources that will help to further advance their work.
“This is a major investment which will continue the sustained growth in our research capabilities at Northumbria. I’m really pleased we’re working with Lenovo and Logicalis to bring the latest HPC technology to our campuses.”
Professor Louise Bracken, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Knowledge Exchange), Northumbria University
