Request for Access

RNCA's computing resources are intended for public or private research, technology and innovation/industry communities in any scientific area.

The access request is intended to respond to computer projects that do not qualify for national competitions. The associated costs are calculated after the request has been analyzed.

If you're interested in RNCA's services, submit your request using the form provided. Please provide the following information in the message field, if available:

  • Scope of application of computational resources
  • Operational center and intended computational model
  • Amount of computing resources: number of core hours, number of GPU hours, amount of storage per month, etc.
  • Project start date and duration
  • Operating System, Software Tools and Application Software

Indicative Costs

The three computational projects presented are intended to generically characterize the costs associated with using RNCA resources. They do not reflect any specific computational project, and the values presented are indicative only and are subject to change*. Each access request is analyzed according to the needs and requirements of the computational project, and its cost is calculated based on this information. Submit your access request using the appropriate form.
