Computational facilities

High Performance Computing
 
The College of Engineering has always maintained state-of-the-art computing facilities in order to support the leading edge research in the area of computational engineering. All of these facilities are available to researchers within the centre and for contract work to external clients.
 
Linux Cluster
 
The Linux cluster was installed in order to provide a performance increase for large parallel applications. It currently comprises:

• 260 AMD Opteron 64-bit processor cores
• Memory ranging from 2Gb - 8Gb per node
• Myrinet interconnect for maximum communication performance
