After upgrading to Phase C and making several improvements during the last months, September 2010 surpassed all Phoenix GRID Cluster records running around 200.000 jobs and computing more than 850.000 CPU hours (normalized to 1 CPU = 1000 SpecInt2000) – doubling the average numbers since 2009. This is really great news for the CHIPP community [...]
CSCS is operating an HPC system for the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP), which is used to analyze the data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN. CSCS asked CHIPP to organize an internal one day workshop to present the physics, the experiments and the accelerator at the LHC as well. The [...]
CSCS is happy to announce that the Phase C of the Phoenix cluster of CHIPP has being put fully operational this Tuesday. At the same time Phase B has been switched off and is being decommissioned. The cluster Phoenix is being used to analyze as Tier 2 the data being produced by the LHC experiment [...]
CSCS is happy to announce that Phoenix PhaseC Upgrade passed today the acceptance test. Phoenix is a HPC system run by CSCS used by the researchers of the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics CHIPP to analyze the data from the LHC experiment at CERN. The upgrade has been delivered and installed by Sun and will [...]
Today has been a special day here at CSCS for the HPC Co-Location Services team: We were following with crossed fingers the first collisions of the LHC collider at CERN. And everything went well! We are very proud with the cluster Phoenix of CHIPP to contribute as Tier 2 to the analysis of the large [...]
