Can my department run calculations on LCA Collaboration Server?

Question

My department and I would like to have a server on which we can run calculations on OpenLCA due to our work laptops not being the fastest around. We have a server running at our department and I was hoping the LCA Collaboration Server could run the calculations, for different users at a time. Is this possible or is the LCA Collaboration Server only used to share databases?

Answer 1

The Collaboration Server does not do calculations. We have created an LCA platform system and are currently co-developing this with several larger enterprise clients, this platform indeed does calculations.

Also, in version 2 of openLCA, calculation will be much faster and need much less resources, with libraries. We plan to release it this summer.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you very much for this fast and clear answer!
We are looking forward to version 2 and the LCA platform system.
