From its inception in 1991, the Taiwan's National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC)'s goal has continuously been to become a HPC center of international caliber. In 2003 NCHC officially transitioned into a non-profit organization under Taiwan's National Applied Research Laboratories (NARL). NCHC plays a leading role in Taiwan's HPC, storage, networking, and platform integration future. In order to provide more complete and professional HPC-related services to all of Taiwan, NCHC has established three business units. They are located in Hsinchu, Taichung, and Tainan, Taiwan. NCHC's mission is service, research, and education. In order to guarantee the quality of our services to clients, NCHC obtained ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management certification and the ISO 27001:2005 Information Security Management certification.
