About TCSC - Tampere Center for Scientific Computing

TCSC - Tampere Center for Scientific Computing - is administered by Tampere University of Technology. The objective of the center is to provide support, local computational resources and scientific software for researchers at the university, and for the partner universities (University of Jyväskylä and University of Tampere) as well.

Nationally, TCSC is a local contact point at Tampere region for computational sciencists with huge computational tasks. The center facilitates their access to the resources at Espoo-based CSC, IT Center for Science Ltd, administered by the Ministry of Education. CSC provides Finland's most powerful supercomputing environment that is complemented by scientific support through computational experts whose fields cover a large number of disciplines.

During a typical year at TUT, computational sciences cover approximately one third of the scientific productivity of the university, which highlights the increasing role of scientific computing.
