Supercomputer Sisu phase 2 installation begins


(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 21 July 2014 Release date- 18072014 - CSC's Sisu supercomputer's first phase was implemented one year ago and its installation's second phase begins on July 21st.

The upgrade and acceptance tests will cause a break of several weeks, during which Sisu is not available for general use. The planned general availability of the second phase is in September. Then Sisu will consist of about 40 000 computing cores and it will reach the petaflop class.



CSC does its best to minimize the length of the maintenance break. Users' files are available during the break via Taito server.

CSC has agreed with CSCS, Switzerland, to provide alternative capacity for a group of users during Sisu phase 2 installation.
