Our new high-performance computing cluster, Warragamba, is now fully operational in parallel mode, and serious testing and benchmarking has now begun.
The head node and all 6 compute-nodes are operational giving a total of 32 cores with 96GB of memory. There are still a good number of applications to be installed, but with the experience that we have gained so far and extra scientific support this should proceed quite rapidly.
Although most applications are aimed at supporting research and instrument simulation at the Bragg Institute, there are also applications from other parts of ANSTO.
