About

The HPC Observatory is dedicated to analyzing the social and research implications of HPC. The Observatory will be supported by multiple RISC2 partners. The objective of the HPC Observatory is to serve as a relevant source of information that European and Latin American research organisations can address with HPC and/or AI issues.  

Within the HPC Observatory you will find the following resources:  

  • Repository: Collection of the reports and training materials produced during the RISC2project lifecycle. The files will be available for download.  
  • Centers: List of relevant HPC research and industrial organisations in LATAM.  
  • News: News, information on past and upcoming events, collaboration opportunities, and relevant reports.
