Bishop’s Supercomputer
Bishop’s has its own 96-node Beowulf-class supercomputer. The computer is essentially a cluster of 96 Pentium4 CPUs whose activities are coordinated by a central server. All of these nodes share data with a Storage Area Network. Students carrying out research projects that require numerically intensive analysis have the opportunity to use this world-class facility.
