Parallel computing

For parallel computing several processors even hundreds of them are used instead of a single one to solve a computation task. Execution time of large computation tasks can be significantly reduced by parallel computing. In addtion, parallel computing makes it possible to increase the problem size.

CSC has several different parallel computers which are applicable for different parallel programs depending on their features. In addition, user environment has been set for different usage. Please, choose parallel computer by given usage profiles.

CSC provides portable parallel computing libraries. Our scientists give support for porting parallel programs  and for optimizing them for CSC's parallel computers.

Programs run on CSC's computers  must meet certain performance requirements before computation quota will be admitted.

In order to study challenging scientific problems, which requires exceptional number of processors or amount of computation quota, temporary changes in CSC's computation environment can be organized by taking into account the other users. In that case, please, contact CSC's scientists.
