Computing for Research

The BDSRC provides high-end computing resources, high-capacity storage, and secure instant backup. BDSRC centrally manages resources to ensure the reliability and security of the compute and storage systems. Researchers can remotely access our computing resources at any time through network connections. 

Get an Account

First, a principal investigator needs to fiil the application to request access to the Computing System of Research for his/her research team or project. The application form includes the research purpose, usage plan on the system, list of team member, etc. Applicants should send the completed form to ntubdsrc@ntu.edu.tw, and we would reply the review result in 10 days.
Second, a member from an approved team needs to submit the online form to request a personal account. Please allow three business days for a response.
Every applicant should check the latest regulation on Computing for Research which announced on Jan 20th, 2025.
