Compute Canada

What is Compute Canada?

Compute Canada provides a national platform for research that integrates high performance computing (HPC) resources at seven partner consortia across the country. These resources include high-performance computers, data resources and tools, and academic research facilities. These integrated resources represent close to a petaflop of computing capability plus online and long term storage capabilities.
