THE PROJECT —

This project, encompasses design, building modification and installation of an upgraded high performance Super Computer to replace the unit installed in 2011/12. The upgrade was design to achieve a ten-fold increase in computing performance. Main elements of the project included technical investigation and assessment of the replacement computer specifications, with regard particularly to the structural adequacy, cooling and power supply capacity of the existing building, design and adaptation of reticulated services, network integration, physical changeover, builders works in connection and programming of the building BMS to improve responsiveness and efficiency. All this was done while keeping the existing Super Computer system operational throughout the project.
