Access
RNCA's computing resources are intended for public or private research, technology, and innovation/industry communities in any scientific field. Interested parties can access them through national competitions from the FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology, IP) in accordance with the conditions under each competition or submit a request for access.
In addition to access to national resources, the joint initiative EuroHPC (European Joint Undertaking for High Performance Computing), provides a supercomputer infrastructure high-level Europeans, including technology pre-exascale and petascale, to meet current needs and demands. In particular, it aims to attract users from SMEs (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) and the public sector. Interested parties can access it through EuroHPC competitions. The RNCA provides support to interested parties in Portuguese territory.
