Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing selects Matlab for HPC capabilities

The Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) has selected Matlab and Matlab distributed computing server as vehicles to enable researchers at all Swedish universities to utilise resources at the national data centres for high-performance computing (HPC) and to more effectively collaborate with colleagues across the country.

SNIC is a national research infrastructure created to provide a balanced and cost-efficient set of resources and user support for large-scale computation and data storage. With data centres located at six key research universities, SNIC meets the needs of researchers from all scientific disciplines through an open-application procedure to ensure that the best research is supported.

Matlab distributed computing server is available in SNIC’s six data centres. Researchers will be able to develop parallel Matlab applications on their own computers and then scale them to SNIC’s infrastructure from within the Matlab environment.

“Matlab is a key data analysis tool for many researchers in the Sweden community. The addition of MATLAB and MATLAB Distributed Computing Server to SNIC opens up this high-performance computing infrastructure to thousands of researchers across Sweden,” said Peter Münger, associate scientific director of the National Supercomputer Centre at Linköping University, one of the six SNIC centres. “Now, researchers can reduce the time to solution in a scalable manner without having to become parallel programming or HPC experts.”
