Abstract

The objective of this project is to invest in the computational infrastructure of the Institute of Public Policy and International Relations (IPPRI/UNESP). The project aims to acquire redundant equipment with high-performance CPUs and GPUs, as well as scalable storage capacity. These resources will enable the expansion of data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization capabilities for large volumes of data. Additionally, the project aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, increasing access to and dissemination of digital humanities not only in São Paulo but also in other regions. The user committee includes representatives from São Paulo (INCT-INEU, UNESP, UNICAMP, UNIFESP), as well as the University of Brasília (UnB) and the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). (AU)
