🖥️ LNCC 2022

Summary

Technical visit to the National Laboratory of Scientific Computing in Petrópolis (RJ), to meet supercomputer Santos Dumont — the largest in Latin America.

🗓️ About the event

We know the facilities of Santos Dumont, the largest supercomputer in Latin America, which has more than 36,000 processing cores and is among the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world, in addition to the specialized library of the LNCC and its historical collection of computing equipment — a good way to connect what we see in the classroom with scientific computing in practice.

Opinion

It was super interesting to know the campus buildings, especially the library and cooling area of the system. Later, we went inside the supercomputer, and, as a student of the computer technical course, it was a nice feeling to know what we were talking about during classes. The library, in turn, made me want to study there, and when I discovered the summer courses, that’s where I really thought!
