About us
HPC Constantine 1
The HPC center of Constantine 1 University is located on the technology campus, specifically in the former premises of the audiovisual services, within the buildings that also house several research laboratories specialized in chemistry, physics, biology, and mechanics. This geographical and technological proximity will ensure a more efficient use of the resources offered by the HPC.
The implementation of this tool will boost the university’s research and save valuable time for researchers and PhD students in their respective fields.
Overview of the HPC Constantine 1 organization:
The management of the high-performance computing unit must operate on several organizational levels to facilitate researchers’ and PhD students’ access to the equipment, ensure high availability of resources, and guarantee both physical and logical security of the machines.
