SURF Research Cloud portal provides various supported applications and environments, tailored to meet diverse computational and research needs. These applications are categorized into the following domains:

Operating Systems

SRC offers a variety of operating systems to support general-purpose and specialized computational workflows:

  • Linux Server VMs: including SUDO-enabled options and configurations for CUDA (e.g., Rocky Linux, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04).
  • Windows Servers: options with Microsoft Office (bring your own license) and CUDA for GPU tasks.
  • Desktop Environments: Linux and Windows desktops optimized for development and computation, including CUDA-enabled configurations.

File Sharing and Collaboration

  • Samba Client and Server: tools for Linux-based file sharing and network resource management.

Jupyter Environment

  • Jupyter Notebooks: interactive computing and data analysis tools supporting CUDA for GPU tasks, Julia, MATLAB, and R-Kernel integrations.

R-Studio Environment

  • R-Studio: setups for statistical computing and visualization. Options include CUDA for GPU tasks and integration with DataShield libraries for secure data analysis.

Docker Environment

  • Docker environment: a catalog item used to deploy and manage containerized applications in a robust environment.
