The National Center for High-performance and Distributed Computing (NCHDC) provides computing resources and software services for research and innovation to the individual researchers and scientific groups in Bulgaria.
The main objective of the NCHDC is to provide stable and reliable services in a sustainable way, in the long term, with maximum flexibility, exceptional cooperativity and understanding of users from different disciplinary fields, which pose problems specific to them and need support for the use of electronic infrastructure. This is an extremely difficult task requiring experienced, highly knowledgeble and motivated e-Infrastructure specialists in order to match the NCHDC infrastructure to modern hardware and software developments.
