Can you imagine running complex climate simulations or processing large volumes of data in just minutes? This is made possible by the HPC (High-Performance Computing) testbed of the BELLA II project, implemented by RedCLARA and co-funded by the European Union (EU). RedCLARA designed this specialized environment to experiment, develop, and evaluate applications requiring intensive computational performance.

It is a high-performance regional platform that was built on top of the strong infrastructure of SCALAC (Advanced Computing System for Latin America and the Caribbean). It lets researchers, scientists, governments, companies, and innovators run complex simulations, look at large datasets, and process complex models in a safe setting.

SCALAC is a consortium of scientific and high-performance computing centers across Latin America. It offers services in infrastructure, platforms, applications, training, and consulting for research, development, and innovation using advanced information technologies. Currently, it has associated centers in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

The BELLA II HPC testbed not only provides high-performance resources, but it also offers specialized technical support from RedCLARA and SCALAC to make sure users get the most out of the infrastructure. With its scalable capacity, users can tailor computational power to their project's needs, from small-scale tests to large-scale simulations.

In this way, the HPC testbed strengthens the region's technological capabilities, fosters innovation, boosts global competitiveness, and contributes to the socioeconomic development of Latin America and the Caribbean. SCALAC and RedCLARA continue to enhance research and collaboration infrastructure, promoting scientific advancement and innovation.
