Austrian Scientific Computing

Austrian Scientific Computing (ASC - formerly VSC - Vienna Scientific Cluster) is a cooperation of several Austrian Universities (including University of Innsbruck) to satisfy the demand for scientific High Performance Computing of the participating institutions. The University of Innsbruck has been fully participating in the ASC/VSC project since the third generation VSC3 cluster and holds an average share of 6% of the total system.

Members of the University of Innsbruck are entitled to apply for VSC usage. The application process is typical for large installations. Principal investigators¹ may apply for test or regular access on a project basis. For regular access, projects need to be peer-reviewed. After a project has been granted, accounts may be created by the project leader for each group member.

¹For funded projects, the applicant should be the person reponsible for the grant.
