ComputeFinder

Tools / Buying compute

Which compute offer type fits my work?

Describe the work and how you want to access it. The chooser narrows ComputeFinder's 12 offer types and shows the provider and programme records mapped to the result.

Before choosing a machine, start a model memory brief from explicit weight-storage assumptions. It does not estimate total runtime memory or hardware fit.

A route into research, not a recommendation. This does not rank providers or check prices, suitability or live availability. It uses fixed editorial mappings to the offer types already explained on this site. Read the contract, location, security and exit questions before choosing a supplier.



Optional: narrow funded programme records

Use these only to narrow the funded programme records shown after the two choices above. Leave them unchanged to see every mapped programme.



Optional exact record filter. A programme's region does not establish your eligibility, location requirement or current availability.



Optional evidence filter. Recorded deadline text is not proof that a call is still open; no recorded date does not mean applications are closed.



Optional record filter. A programme type describes this directory's classification, not your eligibility, the award mechanism or current availability.

How the chooser works

Each workload maps to four of the site's offer types. Your access preference filters that set. Direct overlaps appear first. Workload routes that do not fit the access preference appear separately, so an empty overlap is visible rather than silently replaced. The provider and programme list is a deduplicated alphabetical view of the mappings already published on those matching offer pages. The optional programme filters use the exact recorded region, the presence or absence of deadline text and this directory's programme type. They narrow recorded evidence and classification, not eligibility, award method or availability. Price, capacity and live availability do not affect the result.
