Computing for Education

The BDSRC provides computational resources for educational purposes. Students can use our high-performance computing service through the Internet 24/7.

Get an Account

Lecturers in the College of Social Sciences NTU can request computing resources for their course students. Please allow three business days for a response. Students of the registered courses can create their user accounts to access the computing service. The student user accounts will be deleted after completing the course at the end of each semester.
