UC-LCA | Laboratory for Advanced Computing
UC-LCA provides High Performance Computing services with a very broad scientific scope of application, considering that there are many scientific fields which rely on heavy computational simulation for their research. It offers support to specialized training in HPC and on the effective use of the research infrastructure, and promotes technological development in associated areas such as energy efficiency. UC-LCA is the national node of PRACE – Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe.
Coordinating Institution | Universidade de Coimbra
Services
-
Training in HPC systems and software, through workshops on parallel computing as well as sessions for users to learn about the software environment of the existing cluster, and, also, by associating itself with other organizations or initiatives like PRACE.
-
Provision of CPU time and storage through scientific projects, following the international practice for a Computer Center on providing CPU time and storage, that is, through submission of scientific projects in response to national calls issued regularly.
