Bilkent University
Computational Electromagnetic Research Center (2008)
Existing HPC systems needed to be integrated as a complete Dual-Boot HPC turn-key solution.
A work has been performed for installation of HPC system which has Infiniband Performance Network in the Center that performs various researches on electromagnetic topic. OpenSuse distribution installation has been realized on this HPC system.
