Copper deployment at York open to researchers

We're proud to open up the deployment at York University to researchers there who need a bit more computing power and want to experiment with the next generation of High Performance Computing.

You will be able to harness the power of your own personal easy-to-use cluster - without any of the hassles of keeping compute nodes consistent with your binaries, worrying about cross compilers, restrictions installing packages on the headnode. Copper gives everyone the simplicity of one machine with the power of hundreds.

This hardware for this trial is generously provided by SHARCNET and we expect that we will be able to open up this deployment to all SHARCNET users in the near future. For now, York researchers can request a Copper virtual cluster.
