Research computing
There are surging needs among colleagues at HKU Business School to conduct research using data analytics on large volume of data with a variety of format (e.g., number, text, image, audio, video). Such analyses could be computationally intensive. To many of us and our research teams, computational power is thus increasingly becoming a constraint to research productivity. To meet this rising computing demand, IDEI has recently acquired a high-performance computing server (IDEI HPC) with details below:
Dell EMC DSS8440
The DSS8440 is a 4U 2-socket accelerator-optimized server designed to deliver exceptionally high compute performance. Its open architecture maximizes customer choice for machine learning infrastructure while also delivering best of breed technology.
Supermicro Storage Server: SSG-2029P-E1CR24L
Designed to meet the demands of high performance computing environment. Supports both scale-up and scale out deployment strategies.
Synology RackStation RS4021xs+
The 16-bay large NAS storage provides solid data security and lightening-fast performance.
