Infrastructures

SLING – Slovenian national supercomputing network

The Slovenian national supercomputing network is available for researchers in universities, research institutions and industrial development centers who need significant computing capacities to run compute-intensive algorithms and massively parallel algorithms (HPC/supercomputing) and use distributed processing of large numbers of tasks across several clusters (compute grid, HTC/high throughput computing) and big data processing. The network provides access to cluster-based Slovenian and international computing and storage capacities. It is available to eligible ARNES network users, members of industry research teams and SLING members. As part of international collaborations and projects, users can also access the network through the EGI network and collaborations, such as ELIXIR and CLARIN.
