Paradox IV supercomputer launched at Institute of Physics

BELGRADE - Supercomputer HP Paradox IV was launched at the Belgrade Institute of Physics on Tuesday, and its installation makes room for multiple increase of resources and computer capacities available to researchers.

HP Paradox IV is a facility integrated into all regional and pan-European supercomputer infrastructures and its installation will help the laboratory of the Belgrade Institute of Physics become a leader in the south-east Europe since it owns a high-performance computer facility of the latest technological generation.

The supercomputer cluster represents an integrated, water-cooled facility with a total of 2,500 latest generation processors organised in 220 nods for various purposes, with over 4TB of RAM, 106 Tesla GPUs and total processor power of over 110 teraflops.

The cluster is also a facility for mass digital storage with a total capacity of 200 TB.

Director of Hewlett Packard in Serbia Milos Djurkovic said that the scope of implementation of the computers is huge both in science and in economy.

The main idea of the project is to accelerate supercomputer development in Serbia and the region.

Users from Serbia's academic community can access Paradox IV via the national Grid infrastructure Aegis.
