This class covers all equipment that is not directly used in sample or specimen production and characterization yet which forms a discrete part of the infrastructure of a laboratory (in the way that benching, fume hoods etc do not).
CCAST provides large-scale, state-of-the-art computing resources to the users:
The Thunder cluster consists of 53 compute nodes and 2 login nodes. The total aggregated theroretical peak performance is ~40TFLOPS. All these nodes are interconnected with FDR Infiniband at a 56Gbit/s transfer rate. The system details are shown below
The Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter is featured with an intuitive 10.5" color touch-screen TC Controller that allows variable mode data entry, automatic fraction to decimal calculation and unlimited program storage capacity. Its light safety curtains, enclosed rear table, two-hand timed non-repeat cut buttons, and a knife safety latch contribute to our UL and CE certification. The clamp mark waste is reduced or eliminated with programmable electronic clamp pressure control per cut.
The CM-15 is the perfect tool for education and secondary operations. Featuring an advanced CNC control from Siemens the CM-15 allows training programs based on one of the world’s bestselling CNC. Built on a solid cast iron platform and using high precision ballscrews, spindle and ATC, the CM-15 can hold the demanding tolerances that industry requires. Programing is accomplished with industry standard G code or Siemens advanced ‘Shop Mill’ programing. Equipped with an impressive list of standard features the CM-15 is by far the best EDU and 2nd Op milling machine available today.
The preparation of coating formulations involves the dispensing and mixing of a variety of polymers, crosslinkers, catalysts, and other additives. Many resins and crosslinkers are relatively high viscosity materials and can be difficult to handle. Dispensing of these resins is accomplished through the use of disposable pipette tips and mixing by magnetic stirring. By using a disposable tip for each dispense, the chance for cross contamination is reduced and the need to thoroughly wash the pipette between each use is eliminated.
Cyclic corrosion testing provides the best possible laboratory simulation of natural atmospheric corrosion. Research indicates that cyclic corrosion testing results are similar to outdoor environments in resulting structure, morphology, and relative corrosion rates.
Q-FOG CRH cyclic corrosion chambers can perform traditional salt spray, Prohesion, and most cyclic automotive tests. They feature fully-adjustable relative humidity and precise control over ramp times.
(One of ten) The Cray XC is a Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) supercomputer design. It is therefore built from many thousands of individual nodes.
●Compute nodes: These only do user computation and are referred to as “Compute nodes”
The Cray company prioritize chassis energy efficiency in powering and cooling their systems. Cray company also promote energy efficiency in the manufacture, operation, and eventual decommissioning of these systems.
Today there is a class of applications that can take advantage of the combination of powerful accelerator technologies and Cray’s system expertise to provide leading total performance and maximum efficiency. Cray offers accelerated systems specifically designed for parallel in-node efficiency and optimized off-node communication. These systems are available with today’s powerful NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) and are designed for designed for upgradeability to future technologies.
The Cray CS-Storm 500NX configuration scales up to eight NVIDIA Tesla Volta or Pascal architecture GPUs (V100, P100) using NVIDIA® NVLink™ to reduce latency and increase bandwidth between GPU-to-GPU communications, enabling larger models and faster results for AI and deep learning neural network training.
Cray® CS-Storm™ cluster supercomputers tackle the toughest extreme HPC and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. Designed for speed, architected for scale and integrated for production use.
