The Compute Canada Federation has four regional partners providing ARC facilities in Canada: ACENET, Calcul Québec, Compute Ontario and WestGrid. All are funded by the [https://www.innovation.ca/ Canada Foundation for Innovation] (CFI). CFI expects the consortia to work together to provide researchers access to the computing power they need. To do this, and to make it easier for users to gain access to computing facilities across Canada, we have set up the CCDB. The [https://ccdb.computecanada.ca CCDB web site] provides one access point for all the Compute Canada Federation facilities.
The CCDB is the main accounting system of the Federation. The [https://ccdb.alliancecan.ca CCDB web site] provides one access point for all the Federation facilities.
