Case Studies Academic Research
University of Notre Dame
To advance human understanding of everything from metrology to quantum physics, academics from the University of Notre Dame rely on high-performance computing (HPC) systems to run advanced data analyses and simulations. To equip researchers with the tools they need to make the next great discovery, Notre Dame’s Center for Research Computing implemented a cluster based on 500 Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute nodes. With more compute power available than ever before, researchers can accelerate exploration and discovery.

Babes-Bolyai University
To push the boundaries of knowledge, researchers thirst for access to high-performance computing resources that will analyze data and produce results faster. To fulfill this desire, Babes-Bolyai University (UBB), one of Romania’s leading research universities, worked with ETA2U to implement a Lenovo Intelligent Cluster based on Lenovo NeXtScale M5 compute nodes and powered by over 1,000 Intel® Xeon® processor cores. Today, the university can provide all researchers with the resources they need to run complex, compute-intensive experiments, enhancing its reputation as a first-rate center for research.

University of Adelaide
The University of Adelaide, one of Australia’s leading research universities, wanted to better support researchers from a wide range of disciplines. Previously, researchers had to compete for limited external HPC facilities, which often left groups without enough compute resources or resulted in delays in securing access. With Phoenix, a supercomputer based on a Lenovo NeXtScale System M5 cluster with over 3,800 Intel® Xeon® processor cores, the university can now offer researchers a powerful, state-of-the-art research tool, helping to enhance its status as a world-class research center.

CERFACS
For research center CERFACS, finding better solutions to scientific problems requires more complex simulations and ultimately, more powerful computing resources. Resolving to triple the power of its internal computing cluster, the organization found the optimal balance between throughput and total cost of ownership in a Lenovo supercomputer with 6,000 cores. Enabling up to 30 percent performance gains and 50 percent energy savings, the solution is helping CERFACS lead the way in research innovation.

University of Oxford
The University of Oxford, renowned for its academic excellence, wanted to better support researchers from all faculties. With its existing cluster struggling to cope with growing demand for high performance computing, the university worked with Lenovo and OCF to deploy
a Lenovo NeXtScale System M5 cluster with over 5,000 Intel processor cores. With the Lenovo solution, the university can now offer researchers from a wide range of disciplines a truly state-of-the-art research tool, helping to maintain its sparkling reputation.
