This powerful new platform provides researchers and students with a self-service, High Performance Computing (HPC) environment for their research endeavours.
The Research Cloud can be used to solve complex problems, analyse large datasets, simulate complex experiments, or develop new models.
Its virtualised design allows the cluster to scale rapidly based on research needs.
This ensures efficient resource allocation while maximising the availability of resources for other academic projects.
Unleashing Research Potential
The UWCRC allows users to create virtual servers and networks on-demand, enabling researchers to:
- Separate users, software, and workloads for enhanced security and project management.
- Provision hybrid computing clusters for HPC applications with greater flexibility and agility.
- Access a virtualised HPC cluster for faster time to insights and discovery.
The UWCRC has been designed and built to streamline research activities:
- Virtualised HPC Cluster: This readily available cluster provides researchers with immediate access to high-performance computing resources.
- Open OnDemand: This user-friendly web interface allows researchers to interact with the HPC cluster remotely using only a web browser
- Open-source software-defined storage Cluster: This scalable storage solution meets the demanding needs of the UWCRC, ensuring efficient data management for various research projects.
- 17 Nodes with 464 CPU Cores and 896 GB Total Memory
- 100 Gbps Network Infrastructure for low-latency computing
- Open-Source Cloud Computing Platform for scalable infrastructure management
- Open-source software-defined storage Cluster with 280 Terrabytes of storage
