High Performance Computing for science

Rasmus Kronberg, CSC – IT Center for Science

CSC is not a research organization, meaning that we do not conduct research on our own. However, as a state-owned special purpose company, CSC has been tasked to support scientific computing in Finland by providing high-quality computing, data management and support services for research, education and innovation. Thus, CSC operates in close collaboration with universities, state research institutes and companies, with our primary aim being to help researchers focus on science while we take care of the required computing infrastructure. In this talk, I will present CSC’s activities as a key service provider in the field of computational science in Finland and Europe. In line with the scope of this seminar series, I will in particular highlight the ways in which we support chemistry and AI, including examples of related projects in which we are involved. These activities extend beyond simply providing the required computing infrastructure, as our role in collaboration projects is often related to ensuring efficient implementation and deployment of software and workflows on cutting-edge HPC platforms. Enabling researchers to use our resources as efficiently as possible is also the most important driver of our everyday support services.
