SciNet is the supercomputer centre at the University of Toronto, hosting Niagara, one of the fastest supercomputers in Canada. SciNet provides Canadian researchers with computational resources and expertise necessary to perform their research on scales not previously possible in Canada.
We help power work from the biomedical sciences and aerospace engineering to astrophysics and climate science. Our free education and training program for students and users helps them obtain advanced computing skills and knowledge needed in their research and in the workplace. SciNet provides resources for the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, and is funded by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), the Government of Ontario, and the University of Toronto. SciNet also provides and hosts resources for the Southern Ontario Smart Computing Platform (SOSCIP) funded by FedDev Ontario.
