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
