Distributed Memory Cluster for the Intersect consortium of universities

分布式内存集群： 该项目旨在建立一个新的超级计算设施。新南威尔士州的研究界已经使用高性能计算（HPC）在包括天体物理学，生物信息学，环境科学，信息技术和工程在内的各种学科中取得了重大突破。随着HPC使用的增加，研究社区的特定应用需求变得更加多样化，需要更大的灵活性和更高的性能。目前的设施已不再具有国际竞争力，并阻碍了尖端研究的进展。新的集群旨在将计算能力提高10倍以上。

Distributed memory cluster: This project aims to establish a new supercomputing facility. The NSW research community has used high performance computing (HPC) to achieve major breakthroughs across a diverse range of disciplines including astrophysics, bioinformatics, environmental science, information technology and engineering. As the use of HPC increases, the application-specific needs of the research community become more diverse, requiring greater flexibility as well as higher performance. The present facility is no longer internationally competitive, and is hampering progress in cutting edge research. The new cluster is designed to provide a greater than 10-fold increase in computing capability.
