Today, CSCS announced the inauguration of phase D of the «Phoenix» cluster. Phase D increases the computing capabilities of Phoenix by 20% with 240 more cores, and storage increased by 30% with 230 TB, reaching a total of 1392 cores and 1 PB of disk. Phoenix is using the data produced at the LHC particle [...]
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 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 [...]
In January 2010 started at CSCS the upgrade of the cluster “Phoenix” that is being used as tier 2 by the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) in the LHC experiment at CERN. The Swiss commitment in 3 of the 4 large LHC experiments (ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) mandates establishing their own Grid computing infrastructure [...]
