Abstract

The University of Queensland has, with support from Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard, embarked on a project to deploy the Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS) product at UQ. This initiative is part the High Performance Computing Group’s ongoing strategy to make central high performance computing resources a more mainstream option for UQ researchers. This presentation will report on our progress to date with the deployment and our future plans for the use of the product within UQ.
