HPC

High Performance Computing (HPC) generally refers to the practice of combining computing power in a way that delivers much higher performance than one could get out of a typical desktop computer or workstation in order to solve large problems in science, engineering, or business.

The HPC at 樱花影视 is built on the 64 bit Centos Linux operating system, with high speed Omni-Path interconnects designed to be used with MPI compatible applications. The HPC is currently being used by researchers in computational chemistry, analysis of DNA and bioinformatics.
