Over 350 scientists and researchers from five research institutions will now have access to the largest globally shared-memory supercomputer in Canada, the Altix 4700 system, giving them the capacity and performance to run complex computational simulations in days or weeks, instead of months or years. The RQCHP (which translates to Quebec Network for High Performance Computing) researchers cover a vast range of studies, including physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine, computer science, biochemistry, bioinformatics, automobile manufacturing, aeronautics, railroad transportation, and a host of business services. The Altix 4700 supercomputer is capable of 4.9 teraflops and features 1.5 terabytes of shared memory. The system represents approximately 30% of the total performance capacity of RQCHP.
