New computing cluster

We have recently taken delivery of a high-performance computing cluster that will be used for simulation and modelling. This is not only for internal use, but also to help neutron users who want to use numerical methods to get the most from their data but lack the expertise and/or resources to get started.

The machine has a total of 32 cores and 96 GBytes of memory and is currently being set up to run ab initio and DFT codes. Users wishing to know more about these facilities should contact Don Kearley (gordon.kearley@ansto.gov.au).
