CISM welcomes Lemaitre4, its new computing cluster
It will offer more than 5,000 computing cores, a hyper-fast network and storage, with performance more than double that of its predecessor, Lemaitre3.
With the support of Wallonia the CISM platform is welcoming this year, in collaboration with the Intensive Computing Equipment Consortium its new supercomputing cluster, Lemaitre4, replacing Lemaitre3, a cluster that was installed in 2018.
Regarding technical details, this new cluster offers
- 5,120 computing cores,
- more than 700GB of memory per node,
- 300TB of storage space
- a super fast 100Gbps network
Compared to Lemaitre3, these figures are more than doubled, with the exception of storage, which offers less space, but this space is twice as efficient.
This new cluster will allow researchers whose needs for computing resources are ever increasing to run even larger, even more precise numerical simulations, be it for climatology, fluid mechanics, materials science, artificial intelligence, and more than 20 other application areas.
Access to all clusters of the consortium is free for all researchers at the university, registration is done online.
