About the Event
The HPC Core Facility CalcUA started in 2006, 20 years ago. Time to celebrate!
Our first CalcUA cluster Babbage was officially launched in March 2005: 256 nodes in 8 racks with a whopping 2.5 TFlop/s peak performance! The clusters Turing, Hopper, Leibniz and Vaughan followed.
One year after the launch of the core facility in 2006, we started, with all Flemish universities, the "preparatory trajectory" of the Flemish Supercomputer Centre.
We will look back at how it all started, but it’s also a great opportunity to look ahead and discover what the future holds.
