LIneA has an approved "umbrella" project at LNCC called "Exploring the Universe via big data: from the solar system to dark energy" (acronym EUBD) that guarantees the right to use 2 million CPU hours of the Santos Dumont supercomputer to support some subprojects that depend on High-Performance Computing (HPC) in the following areas:
- Solar System
- Milky Way/Local Volume
- Dark Energy
- Large-Scale Structures
- Photometric Redshifts (LSST in-kind contributions program)
Info
If your project has HPC demands and is not yet part of the EUBD project scope, contact us at helpdesk@linea.org.br for guidance.
