Expression of Interest: Reuse of Bob's supercomputer equipment

The Bob Supercomputer, which was donated to Portugal in 2019 by the Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University of Texas (Austin), saw 15 of its 20 compute node racks discontinued on February 24. However, these are available to be reused by interested entities from the national science and innovation sectors or by companies in innovation processes, so the FCT has launched an expression of interest for this purpose. Interested entities must complete the following questionnaire by July 31, 2023.

Installed in REN's datacenter in Riba d'Ave in Minho and managed in partnership by FCT and the University of Minho, this supercomputer will support national and international research projects in line with the National Advanced Computing Strategy.
