University of Antwerp

Flemish Supercomputer Centre (VSC) participation

The university is one of the five Flemish university partners in the Vlaams Supercomputer Centrum and operates the CalcUA tier-2 cluster locally. The shared account and allocation portal at account.vscentrum.be redirects to a Shibboleth discovery service whose institution list includes "Universiteit Antwerpen" against entityID https://idpx.ua.ac.be/idp/shibboleth — which is how that entityID was recovered. The portal itself is not a University of Antwerp surface, so it is recorded as a participation, not credited as an institution contract. No public API or specification is published for either the portal or CalcUA.
