Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievement
Readers’ Choice Awards
For more than a decade, researchers at the University of Cardiff, jointly with colleagues in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, have developed sophisticated techniques to identify signals buried in the noisy data collected from the LIGO detectors, and to distinguish them from artifacts in the data. New LIGO detectors were recently turned on, leading to the capture of some 30 events in the first three months. Targeting this enhanced sensitivity and the associated analysis, a new purpose-built HPC system installed at University of Cardiff is the result of co-design featuring Cardiff researchers from the School of Physics & Astronomy, ARCCA (Advanced Research Computing at Cardiff) support staff, and Lenovo and Logicalis hardware and software architects.
