CLIP lets you run research computing that outgrows your workstation: scheduled CPU and GPU jobs, browser-based notebooks and desktops on cluster resources, and grid computing for international physics collaborations. It serves researchers across many disciplines at all institutes of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and, at the Vienna BioCenter, at IMP, IMBA, and GMI.
Where CLIP fits
Start on your workstation to develop and test. Move to CLIP when you need shared computing capacity, scheduled jobs, or supported scientific applications. If your project needs national-scale resources, we can point you toward MUSICA onboarding and the access process of Austrian Scientific Computing (ASC).
- Your workstation: develop, explore, and run small tests locally.
- CLIP and CBE: shared computing capacity for larger or repeated research workloads, scheduled CPU or GPU jobs, and supported interactive applications.
- MUSICA: national-scale resources, operated by ASC, when your project’s needs call for an ASC allocation.

Get started
- Check eligibility: CLIP is available to researchers at ÖAW institutes and IMP.
- Request access: tell us your affiliation, group, and use case.
- Start computing: connect to CBE and run your first job with the documentation.
