Public documentation for EuroHPC Federation Platform

Welcome to the documentation for the EuroHPC Federation Platform (EFP) — a unified platform designed to simplify access to Europe's world-class supercomputing and quantum computing infrastructure.

The EFP addresses the complexity arising from the diverse operational models across EuroHPC Hosting Entities by providing federated services for authentication, resource allocation, workflow management, and user support. By building on the strengths of heterogeneous systems deployed throughout the EU Member States, the platform ensures that researchers, industry users, and public sector organizations can seamlessly leverage the distinctive capabilities of each supercomputing centre.
