University of Sydney launches HPC
The University of Sydney has launched its first high-performance computer (HPC), developed in partnership with Dell.
The Artemis HPC has 1512 cores of compute capability and consists of 56 standard compute nodes, two high-memory compute nodes and five GPU compute modes.
Artemis computing services will be made available at no cost to researchers at the university across all disciplines. It is suitable for applications ranging from molecular biology and economics to mechanical engineering and physical oceanography.
“Artemis will enable researchers from diverse fields to perform state-of-the-art computational analysis and improve collaboration between research groups by providing a common set of tools and capabilities with consistent access mechanisms,” said Professor Edward Holmes, an NHMRC Australia Fellow from the Charles Perkins Centre.
Dell ANZ Enterprise General Manager John McCloskey added that the company designed the HPC service specifically for the University of Sydney based on its performance and capacity requirements.
“The HPC solutions will enable researchers to perform complex calculations to provide fast and broad data analysis. HPC is a highly effective way to help analyse complex data and it’s exciting to see it used in research that could potentially impact the world we live in,” he said.
