Newton cluster comes home
After two years hosted by Imperial College, our 'Newton' Grid computing cluster has finally been relocated to Royal Holloway's new state-of-the-art computer centre.
The move was carried out by HPC experts
Clustervision
and everything went smoothly.
Before it goes back to work processing
LHC data, a software upgrade is planned.
The 'Newton' Grid cluster is a bespoke high-throughput data analysis cluster. It has 960kSI2k (2800 HEPSPEC06) processing power from 400 CPU cores, and 300TB if disk storage. As part of
LondonGrid
,
GridPP
,
EGEE
and
WLCG
it is used by physicists worldwide to perform
LHC data analysis.
