Title: Facilitating the use of supercomputers through scientific portals.
Abstract: The supercomputers are now new, we had the Top500 for more than 28 years right now. Most of
these machines are installed in research centers, attending a broad range of applications, including the rising
demands of new AI workloads. These HPC systems serve different domains and require significant effort from both
researchers to map the problem in a way to be solved by these machines. With the new technologies, the domain
needs help on application development to get the best performance for their applications. This talk will present
what we had done in Brazil to push HPC, how we are helping these HPC centers to easier the access process to
their machines.
