"Mésocentre" of High Performance Computing of the University of Lille (Mésocentre de Lille)

Platform

Description

Our platform is dedicated to the validation of research projects in digital simulation, modeling, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence. We provide high performance computing facilities as well as our expertise in the field of scientific computing to process large volumes of data from experiments or simulations. We are open to all academic collaborations in Hauts-de-France and propose services in line with our expertise.
