Platforms on Alps¶
A platform represents a set of scientific services along with compute and data resources hosted on the Alps research infrastructure, provided to a specific scientific community. Each platform addresses particular research needs and domains, such as climate and weather modeling, machine learning, or high-performance computing applications. A platform can consist of one or multiple clusters, and its services can be managed either by CSCS or by the scientific community itself, including access control, usage policies, and support.
