The research activities of the group are supported by an important computing infrastructure, which has been deployed and evolved for almost 20 years by members of the group. Our first steps were carried out “share-memory” cc-NUMA supercomputers, such as SGI Power Challenge, SGI Origin 3000 & SGI Altix series servers mainly. Since then, our computing resources has focus about distributed systems, as cluster HPC/HTC systems. All our actual infrastructure is installed and on running (active status) in 3Mares Data Center, one of the main computing infrastructures centers in the University of Cantabria, especially about HP/HT computing.
Our main computing infrastructure is focus in the calderon HPC cluster, a multi-computer nowadays composed by around 40 high performance computers, GPU’s nodes, 1/10G Ethernet networks, shared storage (Lustre), etc.
The operation, maintenance, and support of all our equipment (working nodes) are handled by the Advanced Computing Service for Research of the University of Cantabria SCI-UC, including the service’s shared infrastructure and common resources (networking, storage, etc.).
