Each year, Compute Canada accepts requests from researchers across the country whose projects require cutting-edge computing resources, storage, and expertise. Compute Canada's resources are granted based on scientific merit and computational need.
In addition to the competitively allocated grants for above-average computing requirements, all Canadian researchers have access to significant default allocations of computational resources and support expertise.
