Mahuika Extension (2022)
In late 2022, the Mahuika HPC cluster was extended to allow a wider range of research communities to adopt HPC approaches and build digital skills within their research teams. Designed with a reduced carbon footprint in mind, the extension included:
- Upgraded CPU nodes, based on AMD EPYC Milan architecture, to keep pace with ongoing growth in data, complexity of models, and a spread of computational maturity across research communities.
- NVIDIA A100 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards, paired with specialised software and tools for machine learning, to support more analysis at scale.
- Specialised high-memory capabilities, to allow rapid simultaneous processing for faster results and insights.
