Cardiff gives researchers supercomputer help
Cardiff University has installed a supercomputer that
will support its academic departments' research
projects.
Academics at Cardiff will now be able to use a
high-performance computing service, instead of the current
smaller departmental facilities.
The supercomputer will provide benefits in the fields of
astrophysics, fluid dynamics, geological simulation, materials
science and molecular simulation.
Professor Martyn Guest, director of the university's Advanced
Research Computing (ARCCA) division said, "The new supercomputer
will enable us to compete on research terms with the best
universities in the world. Our goal is to establish Advanced
Research Computing as an invaluable tool for research across all
schools."
The technology will be supplied by Bull. The service should be
available by the end of April.
