Testemunhos e agradecimentos

Projetos CPCA

Plataformas utilizadas: Bob, Oblivion, Navigator, Cirrus e Stratus

• “The Cirrus:INCD platform of the RNCA was essential to carry out our numerical study of Unsteady Ventilation in rooms in a relatively short time. This is a computational heavy subject that will be almost impossible to perform using local resources.” Fernando Castro, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto
• “I am grateful for the opportunity to use RNCA’s advanced computing resources for my research. The platform provided the computational power and flexibility needed to achieve significant results in ECG signal analysis. ” Mehran Pourvahab, Universidade da Beira Interior
• “INCD is a very good and robust platform with an excellent support team. This platform really helped us to get our project started and operationalise our very own virtual research environment (VRE). Congratulations to everyone making such a great job at INCD.” João Guimarães, FMUL – Universidade de Lisboa
• “Glad to had the opportunity to get in touch and work together with the IT team of Cirrus computer. They were always professional, providing help and specific documentation for the use of the HPC services. I am very satisfied with my collaboration under the FCT framework. I am looking forward to continue working with them.” Francisco J. Enguita, Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes & FMUL – Universidade de Lisboa
• “I have used the platform for scientific computation. I have found plenty of tools installed like CMAKE, g++, intel libraries and compilers, Nvidia tools e.t.c. I compiled my own project with Cmake and g++ compilers linked against intel MKL libraries. The building of program ran smoothly, and the computation as well. The simulations were starting almost immediately, but sometimes I had to wait a while. I have compiled and used successfully other libraries like MAGMA.” Euripides Sellountos, Centro de Estocástica e Matemática Computacional (CEMAT), FCUL & IST – Universidade de Lisboa
• “I am very pleased with the performance of the computing platform provided by the RNCA. The reliability of the system was exceptional, significantly contributing to my scientific research. The support team was always available and helpful, ensuring a smooth experience. This infrastructure was instrumental in obtaining the results to complete my master’s student thesis. I am truly grateful for the RNCA’s contribution to my academic and professional growth. (…) I have applied to several CPCA calls, and the computational resources that I have been granted have been pivotal for my research. Without these I could not get the preliminary results required to apply for larger scientific funding. The platform is robust, reliable and the user-support team is very helpful, quick to reply, highly skilled and easily approachable. Please keep up with the fantastic work. “  Isabel Duarte, CINTESIS – Universidade do Algarve
• “The access to Oblivion:HPC-UÉ platform and the CPU hours was crucial to accomplish the main objectives of an important scientific collaboration with experimental researchers. The computational performance was essential to provide a quick insight into experiments already done. Otherwise, simulations will take more time than available to include the simulation results in the experimental work. Simulations provided significant information that improved the manuscripts to be published.” German Perez-Sanchez, Universidade de Aveiro
• “The usage of these computing resources made our research possible within this time frame. We will keep on applying and using them. Computing power is among one of the scarcest resources for research in the quantum computing domain. I encourage RNCA to maintain this initiative and further increase available resources and support.” Luis P. Peixoto dos Santos, INESC TEC & Universidade do Minho
• “We would like to thank very much the RNCA for the use of the Oblivion platform, which helped with our work. We would also like to equally thank very much the Oblivion team, especially Miguel Avillez for running the HPC so well. Additionally, all the informative emails on the running of Oblivion and all the courses offered are extremely useful.” Maria João Ramos, Universidade do Porto
• “RNCA resources are fundamental to conduct our research on computational services and platforms and the underling numerical model simulations. Access to resources is robust and user support works very well. The feedback from our users is very good and the research developed has facilitated our capacity to get international funding.” Anabela de Oliveira, LNEC – Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil
• “The RNCA (National Network for Advanced Computing) plays a pivotal role in supporting researchers across Portugal by providing access to high-performance computational resources. In today’s research landscape, having the ability to perform complex computations, analyze large datasets, and run simulations is no longer a luxury-it is essential for producing competitive, cutting-edge results.” Gabriel Martins, FCUL – Universidade de Lisboa
• “The CPCA projects by RNCA and FCCN enable SMEs like blueOASIS to perform core research on Ocean Sustainability topics, keeping them at the forefront of technical innovation. All to Make the World Green and the Oceans Blue and Quiet.” Guilherme Vaz, blueOASIS CEO
• “Our team has greatly benefited from utilizing the cluster environment. Thanks to the invaluable support from the INCD team, we were able to efficiently execute all critical tasks related to CFD simulations, This collaboration significantly accelerated our calculations and greatly enhanced the quality and efficiency of our research outcomes.” Shan Wang, Centro de Engenharia e Tecnologia Naval e Oceânica (CENTEC), IST – Universidade de Lisboa
• “A iniciativa de Computação Avançada da RNCA proporcionou uma infraestrutura essencial para o nosso projeto de otimização de redes de energia, potenciando um ambiente escalável e de fácil acesso para realizar cálculos complexos. Este tipo de recursos é fundamental para a inovação de um novo ecossistema tecnológico na área das baterias e das virtual power plants. “ Ricardo Rodrigues, DTx Colab – Digital Transformation CoLab
