Core Facility Center for Supercomputer Complex of the NAS of Ukraine
The CFC SCC “SKIT” was established on the basis of the V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics of the NAS of Ukraine with the aim of the most rational use of a unique and expensive modern supercomputer complex in order to meet the needs of research institutions of the NAS of Ukraine in high-performance computing resources.
Typical applications of supercomputers developed at the V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics are related to molecular dynamics modeling (study of proteins, DNA, etc. - screening, docking, search for new drugs); quantum-chemical modeling (study of crystals, active centers of biological molecules); hydro- and aerodynamic modeling (meteorological forecasting, monitoring of water resources, design of structures and machinery – ships, airplanes, helicopters, power plant units, etc.); mathematics (for testing hypotheses or as an integral part of proving theorems). Within the framework of the Ukrainian National Grid (UNG), the supercomputers of the CFC SCC “SKIT” were also used for processing data from the Large Hadron Collider, economic modeling, etc. Other applications, in particular, the National Corpus of the Ukrainian Language uses the cloud subsystem of the CFC SCC “SKIT”.
