As some of you may be aware, Murdoch University is hosting what is
currently the second most powerful supercomputer** in Australia (and
ranked #87 in the world).
This Thursday lunchtime (12.30pm) there will be a presentation from
Professor Bellgard in ECL 1 on this and related work done by the Centre
for Comparative Genomics - and then we'll open the doors and you can
have a look at the beast. If you want to see what the latest,
containerized supercomputer looks like, this is your chance.
Relevance? - it runs Linux of course (Centos 5.5 to be exact :)
