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.

Part of a large team
The Flemish supercomputing center VSC was founded in 2007 by the Flemish government. It is a partnership between all Flemish university associations and managed by the FWO. It provides supercomputing services to academic as well as industrial researchers. The VSC offers access to a competitive infrastructure and extensive assistance to do high performance computing (HPC). Our dedicated staff includes system administrators, technical support as well as scientific user support consultants, and is at your service!
The VSC is an active partner of the European supercomputing ecosystem. We participate in PRACE, and EuroHPC projects: EuroCC and LUMI. These world-class projects push the boundaries of HPC and offer exciting possibilities for companies.
