HPC2N
The High Performance Computing Centre North (HPC2N) is a national centre for Scientific and Parallel computing in Sweden. The partners of HPC2N are: Umea University; Lulea University of Technology; The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna; Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umea; and Mid-Sweden University in Sundsvall, Harnosand, Ornskoldsvik and Ostersund.
The collaboration and coordination between universities and research institutes form a network for high performance computing (HPC), scientific visualisation, and virtual reality (VR) in Northern Sweden. The primary objective of the centre is to raise the national level of competence in high performance computing and to transfer HPC knowledge and technology to new users in academia and industry.
Today, the use of HPC include compute-intensive as well as data and communication-intensive applications. HPC2N is one of six national centres funded by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC), a metacentre under The Swedish Research Council.
HPC2N will contribute to the activities of the Swedish Regional Operations Centre, and therefore, the EGEE project.
