This doesn&#8217;t mean more research is supported by Voyant, or more important research; comparisons are not really useful. What is more important is that the way humanists use infrastructure is different and being recognized. Humanists typically aren&#8217;t doing &#8220;big science.&#8221; They don&#8217;t need thousands of processors and batch interfaces. They want a more interactive and &#8220;always on&#8221; type of service. Compute Canada has listened and has been supporting our style\/pace of infrastructure.
