Portugal is about to make Deucalion available, a new supercomputing platform that promises to boost data processing and analysis capacity. After completion of the physical assembly, the platform will begin testing and fine-tuning to ensure full operation and maximum performance of this important resource.
To this end, the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) invites potential interested parties from the national Science, Technology, Innovation and Public Administration sectors to register their interest and willingness to work together with technical support on benchmarking tests of the Deucalion supercomputer.

Those interested should complete and submit the simplified form.

 

The Bob Supercomputer, 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 as of February 24, 2023. However, these are available to be reused by interested entities in the national science and innovation sectors or by companies in innovation processes, so the FCT has launched an expression of interest for this purpose.

Entities interested in reusing the Bob supercomputer are invited to submit their expression of interest proposal using this form by July 31, 2023.
