Efficient HPC Enables Research: Queen Mary University of London Maximizes HPC Cluster Performance

Globally recognized for pushing the boundaries of research and innovation, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is one of the United Kingdom's leading higher education institutions, with 5 campuses in London plus sites across Europe and Asia. Queen Mary's high-performance computing cluster supports a student and research community of over 2,000 users in disciplines including astronomy, computational chemistry, bioinformatics, computer science, engineering, mathematics and statistics, and clinical research.

QMUL needed a robust solution that could take them forward and allow their researchers to run any application type. Having eliminated offerings that were cost-prohibitive, migration-intensive, or lacked support, QMUL selected Altair Grid Engine for its rich features, high performance, large installed base, expert support, and easy upgrade path.
