Apply to get expert help to improve the performance of your software!

Researchers and students can request support to optimise, profile or benchmark their applications on Snellius. This type of request is targeted for more in-depth application support where a user can get up to 160 hours (pilot project), or 520 hours (NWO project) of HPC advisor support dedicated to improving performance and optimization of their code, or support in data visualization of results. This application can be requested together with an account on the Snellius systems. After the approval of the allocation, successful applicants will be contacted individually by one of our advisors to plan the work and discuss the requirements. 

The approval of an NWO or Pilot project which includes support outside of the regular 4 hours, does not guarantee that the request can be fulfilled. Requests for support will be evaluated regularly and approved based on the availability of resources and expertise.

Please contact the SURF service desk to request more information and how to apply for the Promising Applications Programme.
