Non-academic access

We collaborate with initiatives supporting adoption of High-Performance Computing (HPC) among startups, SMEs, and public administration. If you are interested in exploring opportunities of supercomputing and get a free test access for a Proof of Concept, contact info(at)advanced-computing.at .

Access to the ASC systems is granted on the basis of peer-reviewed projects which, beside scientific excellence, can demonstrate the need for extremely large computational resources.
