Running large-scale simulations of the universe. Sequencing the DNA of ancient wolves. Bringing human-like qualities to robots. Finding new ways to cure tuberculosis. It’s all in a day’s work for the scientific researchers at Durham University.
For these and countless other research initiatives, teams of scientists at the UK university make use of leading-edge high performance computing clusters from Dell Technologies and, increasingly, machine learning technologies to glean insights from enormous datasets. All of this work solidifies Durham University’s reputation as a world-class research institution.
And this brings us to the news of the day: Durham University has joined the ranks of the top-tier research institutions that have been recognized as Dell Technologies HPC & AI Centers of Excellence. These institutions include:
Sweden backs AMD for supercomputer March 01, 2021 // By Nick Flaherty
Sweden’s largest technical university is installing a new HPE Cray supercomputer based around AMD s EYPC processors and Instinct GPUs
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is to build a new supercomputer for KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm based around the latest AMD EPYC processor and Instinct GPU.
The 13.5 petaflop supercomputer is named “Dardel” in honour of a Swedish novelist, Thora Dardel, and her first husband, Nils Dardel, a post-impressionist painter. This replaces KTH’s current flagship system, Beskow, and will be housed on KTH’s main campus at the Centre for High Performance Computing (PCD).
