The group of Prof. Peltier of the University of Toronto, together and their collaborators, is using the Trillium supercomputer to develop a next-generation Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm) global ocean simulation. This project will culminate in a run of the MITgcm with horizontal grid spacing of 1/96° (~1 km). It will be…

“We were able to discover a new stellar mixing process only because of the immense computing power of the new Trillium machine. These are the computationally most intensive stellar convection and internal gravity wave simulations performed to date.”  —Falk Herwig, professor of physics and astronomy and director of ARC (University of Victoria) More on the role…

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and the United States are being invited to apply for the 15th International High-Performance Computing (HPC) Summer School, to be held on July 6-11 in Lisbon, Portugal. This is an in-person, expenses-paid educational event for selected graduate students and early-career postdocs involved in…

On a rare visit to the SciNet data centre, CityNews reporter David Zura was granted a glimpse into the inner workings of one of Canada’s most powerful computing systems, Niagara.

Niagara went live for users in early 2018, and Mist in late 2019. They’ve served us well, running over 13 million jobs for over four thousand users. But the time has come to replace them. Thanks to a $52M investment by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada and Ontario’s Ministry of Colleges and Universities, we’re…

The following training events will be offered by SciNet in 2024/2025. Most events take place online, others are in-person in our teaching room at the SciNet offices on the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto (https://www.scinethpc.ca/contact-us/). Many of the events are recorded and posted afterwards on the sites listed below. All events listed…

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the highly anticipated 2024 Compute Ontario Summer School! Jointly organized by the Centre for Advanced Computing, SciNet, SHARCNET, and in collaboration with the Alliance and RDM experts from across Ontario and Canada, this virtual event promises to be an enriching experience for all participants.…

What is “Niagara at Scale”? Organized since 2021, “Niagara at Scale” are events where the Niagara supercomputer is reserved for several days for large parallel computations on the order of the size of the cluster. The fourth installment of “Niagara at Scale” event will be held from October 31st, 2023 at noon EDT until November…
