Funding and Resources

Financial support for the papers I, II, III and V is provided by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 671633 (NLAFET). Support has also been received by eSSENCE, a collaborative e-Science programme funded by the Swedish Government via the Swedish Research Council (VR). The author is grateful to the Department of Computing Science at Umeå University for providing financial support during the work on paper IV.

The computational experiments were enabled by resources by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) at High Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) partially funded by the Swedish Research Council through grant agreement no. 2018-05973. SNIC provided compute hours under the grants SNIC 2017/1-617 (Paper II), SNIC 2018/5-41 (Papers I, III, V), SNIC 2018/3-624 (Paper I, III), SNIC 2018/5-6 (Paper I), SNIC 2019/5-29 (Paper IV) and SNIC 2019/3-311 (Paper IV).
