Cy-Tera is a Multi-Teraflops Computing Facility for Science and Technology in Cyprus.The Cy-Tera project aims at creating a research facility including a high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure supporting cutting-edge scientific applications, with associated user support and computational science research and training programs. The Cy-Tera facility isthe first HPC facility at multi-Tflops level in Cyprus, serving the needs of The Cyprus Institute (CyI) and its partners for frontier research applications in many fields of great scientific and/or societal importance. It provides the initial funding for the infrastructure of the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CaSToRC).
Project Objectives and Specifications[edit]
The objectoves of the Cy-Tera project is to provide physical building infrastructure to host a high performance computing (HPC) facility, acquire an HPC system tailored to the regional needs, implement operations procedures and build-up a user HPC community in Cyprus.
