Scientists at the University of Cambridge have been leveraging an advanced higher performance computing and storage infrastructure to conduct research in a number of fields. By partnering with #DellEMC and Intel, the #HPC Solution Centre is providing the capabilities needed to make breakthrough discoveries in healthcare, high energy physics, astronomy, and industry. The problems being investigated in these vastly different areas all need the latest compute and storage technologies. Typically, the researchers in these fields work with very large volumes of data. The data must be quickly analyzed, visualized, modeled, and shared. And in most cases, the data must be maintained indefinitely and made accessible to be analyzed at different points in time as new algorithms and exploration methods are generated. To accomplish all of this requires a hardware infrastructure (including servers, storage, and networking elements) that is highly scalable. The infrastructure must be flexible enough to support the wide variety of workloads found in today’s leading science labs. Such a hardware infrastructure must be complemented with a new or updated software infrastructure to achieve greater results. In particular, great performance and speed-to-results benefits can be realized by modifying and optimizing the algorithms used for research to take full advantage of the features and enhancements incorporated into the latest generation of Intel Scalable Systems Framework
