Supercomputing at IFCA
Welcome to the support pages on supercomputing at IFCA.
Please, send any question to res_support@ifca.unican.es
Why supercomputing at IFCA
IFCA entered the supercomputing field with the installation in 2007 of the ALTAMIRA node of the University of Cantabria within the Spanish Supercomputing Network (Red Española de Supercomputacion = RES) coordinated by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). The node was installed at IFCA datacenter room, and supported by IFCA team in a joint effort with ATC group.
The ALTAMIRA node was upgraded in June 2012 with the installation of a new cluster at IFCA datacenter room.
IFCA also offers support for large and performant storage, as well as advanced network support.
