UNIVERSITY OF CARDIFF SELECTS LENOVO AND LOGICALIS TO BOOST HPC CLUSTER TO UNLOCK MYSTERIES OF BLACK HOLES
The University ’ s Advanced Research Computing at Cardiff ( ARCCA ) service is using Lenovo ThinkSystem servers to power globally important high-performance computing research . Professor Stephen Fairhurst and Professor Martyn Guest tell us more .
The University of Cardiff ’ s Advanced Research Computing at Cardiff ( ARCCA ) service is now using 90 Lenovo ThinkSystem servers to boost the performance of its high-performance computing ( HPC ) cluster by 100 %, helping to power groundbreaking research into the origins of the universe and star formation .
Cardiff ’ s high-end research computing service chose to work with Logicalis and the Lenovo ThinkSystem platform to boost the capabilities of its Hawk HPC cluster which offers access to supercomputing tools and resources to tackle complex research problems in fields as diverse as astrophysics and life sciences .
Lenovo and Logicalis deliver HPC resources for two research groups at Cardiff , including one that could change our understanding of the universe , the Laser
We were working to extremely tight funding deadlines , and while other vendors quoted us ninemonth lead times for delivery , Lenovo and Logicalis truly understood the urgency .
Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory ( LIGO ) Scientific Collaboration .
For more than 15 years , ARCCA has been one of the largest HPC providers for the global research project LIGO , which aims to detect gravitational waves , ripples in space-time created by collisions between black holes .
