Deucalion is now accessible for developing research, technology, and innovation projects

Deucalion, Portugal's most advanced supercomputer, is a marvel of modern computing infrastructure. Comprising 1900 meters of optical fibre, 2359 high-speed interconnect cables, and housed in 26 racks, it represents a significant leap forward in computational power and capability for the country. This infrastructure supports many possibilities, from complex advanced mathematical modelling to large data analysis with modern tools such as machine learning. Deucalion is a testament to Portugal's technological progress and ambitions in supercomputing.

The good news is that Deucalion's impressive peak performance of 10 petaflops is now accessible for developing research, technology, and innovation projects. Its powerful computational capabilities can handle extremely complex calculations and simulations, allowing users to achieve their goals more quickly across various scientific areas. This includes industry, where it can optimise manufacturing processes, enhance product designs, and improve supply chain efficiency. It also includes artificial intelligence (AI), which can accelerate machine learning algorithms, enable advanced data analysis, and drive innovation in AI applications. Deucalion is poised to be a catalyst for significant advancements and breakthroughs.

Access to Deucalion can be granted through FCT and EuroHPC JU calls. Once a grant from these entities has been awarded, the Minho Advanced Computing Center (MACC) will guide you through the process of account requests and project allocation on the system. MACC will also provide guidance and assistance to help you utilise your grant resources efficiently.
