Accelerate Scientific Discovery

ACTIVATE empowers researchers to focus on science, not infrastructure. Access unlimited computational resources across any cloud or on-premises system with the same familiar HPC experience.

"Parallel Works ACTIVATE lets us focus on research, not the digital plumbing that supports it. We are using it to run a digital twin model of the Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere, which lets us research and predict space weather more effectively."
