A-Machine: equipment of scientific computing aceleration

The scientific computing acceleration equipment, considered the first cluster in Brazil with FPGA boards working together, was developed by researchers at the Laboratory of Computing Systems of the UNICAMP Institute of Computing. The project is supported by the FAPESP thematic project "Trends in High-Performance Computing".

High-Performance Heterogeneous Parallel Machine

Two heterogeneous, high-performance parallel machines were acquired for parallel computing experiments. The machines have a large amount of memory, processors, and accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs. The machines were acquired through the Multi-User Equipment Program (EMU), which aims to support the acquisition of research equipment that cannot ordinarily be acquired through Regular Research Grants or Thematic Projects. The EMU Program may also support, when necessary, the costs for supplies and services required for the installation and operationalization of the requested Multi-User Equipment. See below for the description of the acquired machines:
