Contribution: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program - Collaborative R&D Initiatives

Memorial University of Newfoundland

$470,642.00

High-performance marine computing cluster

FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01

Summary
The Project supports the creation of a new technology platform, High- Performance Marine Computing Cluster (HPMCC), which will include 33 new nodes (1320 computer cores) and will be added to the Memorial University of Newfoundland's (MUN) existing 700-core cluster within the Department of Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering (ONAE) computing cluster. This increased computing capacity will be accessed by both NRC and MUN researchers together with a broader collaborative network that will support Ocean Supercluster (OSC) activities in the areas of green ship technologies to mitigate underwater noises from ships and to improve ship efficiency; simulations of harsh ocean environments, including large waves, ice and iceberg movements; safe operation of ships and offshore structures in harsh ocean environments; digital twins for operation and maintenance of ocean assets; and marine autonomous surface ships.

Description (French)
Le projet soutient la création d’une nouvelle plateforme technologique, la grappe marine en calcul de haute performance (HPMCC), qui comprendra 33 nouveaux nœuds (1320 cœurs de calcul) et sera ajouté à la grappe de 700 cœurs de l’Université Memorial de Terre-Neuve (MUN) au sein de la grappe de calcul du Département de génie architectural océanique et naval de l’Université Memorial (ONAE). Cette capacité de calcul accrue sera accessible aux chercheurs du CNRC et de l’Université, ainsi qu’à un réseau de collaboration plus large qui soutiendra les activités de la supergrappe océanique (OSC) dans les domaines suivants : technologies des navires écologiques pour atténuer les bruits sous-marins des navires et améliorer leur efficacité; simulations d’environnements océaniques difficiles, y compris les grandes vagues, les mouvements des glaces et des icebergs; exploitation sûre des navires et des structures offshore dans des environnements océaniques difficiles; jumelages numériques pour l’exploitation et la maintenance des ressources océaniques; et navires de surface autonomes.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
