Computing Resources

Overview
Cluster

The High Performance Computing Facility of the AMHRC consists of a small Linux cluster of 32 nodes. This computing power allows for many simulation and calculation intensive tasks to be completed within reasonable periods of time.

The installation, primarily targeting computational fluid dynamics, includes software packages such as Ansys' CFX and Cambridge Flow solutions CFD.

The Centre's computer infrastructure further includes data storage facilities to provide a central repository of research inputs, calculation results and project outcomes for longer term prosperity.
