Leverage high-performance computing to drive innovation

We are in the middle of a digital revolution as we are more interconnected than ever before, the amount of data has exploded and there is an ongoing transition to industry 4.0.

This digital revolution goes hand-in-hand with the huge increase of computer power over the past decades which has demonstrated its value in all aspects of R&D.

Our largest and most powerful computers, so-called supercomputers, have become prime drivers of innovation.  A recent study conducted by Hyperion Research Ltd shows that using supercomputers or high-performance computing (HPC) generates revenue, profit and cost-savings for R&D projects.  It can improve design turnaround time for new products, reduce time-to-market and increase your overall competitiveness. 


A wide range of industries benefit from supercomputing, to name a few: 


  • ​Engineering
  • Material Science 
  • Chemistry & Life Sciences 
  • Logistics
  • Manufacturing 
  • Renewable Energy



Supercomputing services at the University of Antwerp

Each partner of the Flemish Supercomputing Center houses a local team of specialists.  The Antwerp team manages two powerful Tier-2 clusters that are also available for the private sector to explore, speed-up or scale-up computational applications.
