….in response to
The Principal Mission
defined by the Research Council to be:• to offer a cost effective national infrastructure for high
performance computing for scientists at Norwegian universities and colleges;
• to provide the Norwegian Meteorological Institute with the required high performance computing facilities for operational forecasting and research;
• to ensure that other participants who contribute to the funding of the program can utilise the facilities.

National Roles
NTNU: Large-scale parallel computation.
UiO: Data intensive computation.
UiB: Affordable parallel computing.
UiT: CPU-intensive sequential simulations.
(Serve local needs)

High Operational Quality
Round the clock continuous operation will provide high availability and stability of the resource.
Operations Metacenter
Common framework for the user interface, including e.g.
• homogeneous file system• homogeneous queuing system• uniform application- and log-in
environmentAvoid duplicate efforts through e.g.
• common training programs• local user support, but with a single
contact point

HPC Metacenter
![Page 12: NOTUR notur](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568158c7550346895dc60f73/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HPC Metacenter
The goal of the Metacenter is
to establish a uniform, and
as seamless as possible,
access to the Resources and
Support infrastructure in the
NOTUR network
• Quota application• Regulations of use• Training• Computer resources• Application management• User support
![Page 13: NOTUR notur](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568158c7550346895dc60f73/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Emerging Technologies
Enable the Norwegian research and engineering community to take advantage of early use of emerging technologies in HPC.
• Technology watch (new technologies, new demands)
• Computational GRID concepts• Support the Metacenter
(operations, user interface)• National dimension
![Page 14: NOTUR notur](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568158c7550346895dc60f73/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Technology Transfer Projects
The goal of the TTPs is to
strengthen the competence and
usage of HPC.
In addition the project shall
accelerate the accessability of
effective HPC-tools and
mechanisms amongst
HPC-users in Norway.
• Scalable algorithms• Scientific visualisation• Climate and Environment• Industry and Energy• Nature Science

Outreach and Dissemination
Acceleration of the awareness and take up of HPC among a broader field of application will extend the impact of HPC on the Norwegian society. Introduce HPC to at least one
new research area every year
