External HPC

Beyond Ofakim & SGE clusters, BGU researchers can access additional compute resources through national and international programs — discounted public cloud services, European supercomputing infrastructure, and Israel's national AI supercomputer.

Nimbus – Public Cloud Services

BGU researchers can access discounted public cloud services through IUCC's Nimbus program — no credit card required, with monthly usage reports and budget alerts sent by email.

Accounts are opened and managed through IUCC — no credit card required, with monthly usage reports and email budget alerts.

EuroHPC

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) is a shared initiative of the European Union, pooling resources from 32 participating countries to develop a world-leading, cutting-edge supercomputing and quantum computing infrastructure across Europe.

The service is free of charge — any researcher may apply independently to request access.

Applications require a research proposal (scientific plan), the resources needed (amount of compute), and completion of the technical and access request forms — the Project Scope and Plan.

Nebius – Israel's National AI Supercomputer

Nebius Israel is the local subsidiary of Nebius, an international cloud computing company. Nebius is expanding its investments and infrastructure in Israel to help establish the country's national AI supercomputer.

Access requires an up-to-date research proposal and proof of need. Requests must be for a minimum of 8 GPUs for up to 4 weeks, and may not exceed a minimum request of 150 GPUs for up to 4 months.
