What's up
Lucia, the new infrastructure for HPC
We are pleased to let you know that a new baby is born, Lucia, the new Walloon High Performance Computing infrastructure, joined our shared equipment club.
This new tool operated by Cenaero is based in Charleroi whith our ecosystem and will enable to intensify fundamental and applied research activities.
Provide valuable support to research and industry
In recent years, not only its use has developed in fundamental reasearch but also in the industry in a significant way. Nowadays, HPC (for High Performance Computing) has applications in the automotive, aerospace, energy, finance, telecommunications, healthcare, chemical energy, finance, telecommunications, health, chemistry, biotechnology, agri-food, biotechnologies, agri-food, multimedia and last but not least, the environment.
High performance computing and digital simulation have become essential tools for the competitiveness of companies. Manufacturers are increasingly using this type of supercomputer to carry out R&D activities in order to launching innovative products on the market.
What can Lucia offer ?
