In
the early nineties, ITSC recognized that the University
had reached the stage where a supercomputer was
crucial to the success of research projects. An
Research Computing Team was
then formed in 1995 to respond the demand of high
performance computing environment raised by the
University researchers.

Introduction to the three high-performance
computers
in ITSC
Three
high-performance computing platforms play as
a versatile role in facilitating research users
and sustaining a fast, reliable problem-solving
engine.
 |
Organon
- Scientific Computing Cluster
Organon
aims at helping users who need the
Linux Cluster for their research projects
which are computation-intensive in
nature. They
are the Sun Fire V20z servers which
was launched in May 2006. |
 |
Orion
- Computation and data intensive Server
Orion was
launched at the end of 2008. It has 222 processing cores and around 2TFLOPS computing power. The system is targeted for handling both data and computation intensive projects.
