“Anything that requires computing usually requires big computing these days, whether it’s modelling or verifying experimental results or processing data from experiments,” said Danny Gruner, SciNet’s chief technical officer of software. “We’re a big centre for processing data from the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, (Switzerland).” See the Vaughan Citizen news article here.

Torontoist visits SciNet

In July, Torontoist reporter Steve Kupferman and photographer Michael Chrisman took a tour of the super secret SciNet data centre in Vaughan. Take a look at their article, Unseen City: The SciNet Supercomputer. One of the earliest innovators in the realm of high-performance computing was Gaspard Clair François Marie Riche de Prony. In 1791―as David [...]

SciNet is Canada’s largest supercomputer centre, providing Canadian researchers with computational resources and expertise necessary to perform their research on scales not previously possible in Canada. SciNet powers work from the biomedical sciences and aerospace engineering to astrophysics and climate science. SciNet is part of Compute/Calcul Canada, a national infrastructure for supercomputing-powered innovation composed of seven consortia, and is funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, NSERC, the Government of Ontario, and the University of Toronto.
