PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) is the European high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

CSC - IT Center for Science represents Finland in the PRACE projects, and provides a seamless route to the Tier-0 resources for Finnish researchers. In Tampere University, the department of Physics is involved in producing these resources.

PRACE has granted almost 1,1 billion computing hours for several Finnish research projects (situation 04/2020). The research would not have been done, or it would have taken a very long time, without the PRACE resources.

PRACE has 26 members, representing European Union Member States and Associated Countries. PRACE hosts the leading-edge HPC systems in Europe (Tier-0 systems). PRACE receives funding from the EU's Horizon 2020 programme and additionally the PRACE partner countries provide significant funding for the project.
