Physics
CSC serves the field of physics mainly by providing high-performance computing (HPC) resources and support for using them. Our supercomputers are equipped with useful software, optimized and ready to use. Many physicists also choose to use their own software on our supercomputers. To support this we keep our high-performance computing environment efficient, up-to-date, and useful.
We are invested in developing and optimizing scientific HPC software. You can inquire our service desk about custom software development or optimization. See also our page on Code optimization.
Another significant part of our services for computational physics is to provide training.
Software development
CSC collaborates with academia in developing software for physics. Some of the examples include:
- Elmer – finite element software for multi-physical problems.
- Elmer/Ice – widely used ice flow model.
- HiDEM – software for simulating the fracture and fragmentation of materials.
- CellSim3D – software developed for the mechanics and growth of cellular structures and soft colloid dynamics.
For inquiries about HiDEM and CellSim3D, please contact CSC Service Desk.
Research, development and innovation projects
CSC systematically pursues different collaboration and funding opportunities together with our partners. This includes projects related to physics, such as:
A comprehensive list of the ongoing RDI projects CSC participates in can be found on our company website.
