HPC-Research Facility

The research groups of the Department of Physics have developed their research lines with different equipment that, due to the nature of their codes and/or software used, require different equipment specifications and/or different versions of libraries. Together with our University, we have begun to build a platform that allows us to integrate new capabilities, thus increasing sustainability and access for our entire community. Depending on the problems and topics of interest, the architecture that we have developed is based on three types of servers that we detail below.
