Abstract


The Santos Dumont supercomputer is the fourth largest in Latin America according to the TOP500 list, summarizing 5.1 petaflops. It is hosted at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (Petr´opolis, Brazil), a research unit of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. This work briefly presents the main architectural characteristics of the supercomputer, its areas and research projects, scientific HPC software and gateways using it, ongoing work to optimizing its execution, and finally useful information to potential users for Santos Dumont project submissions.
