Total Quantity or Scope

The system must be a flexible, robust, multi-purpose platform that can efficiently manage the changing workload of the Centre as we move from predominately HPC based work to a more balanced portfolio of HPC, HPDA, Big Data and machine learning. The system must be a production accelerated HPC platform that provides the basis for services that can support Hartree Centre activities in modelling/simulation, AI, ML and data science. The system will have GPU hardware and visualisation capability. All compute nodes will feature the same architecture and specification.
