Russia Builds Data Center to Process Data of Experiments at the SKIF Synchrotron
The computing cluster has a peak performance of 390 teraflops.
A dedicated data center has been built to process experimental results from the Siberian Circular Photon Source (SKIF), a major scientific research facility. It houses a computing cluster with a performance of 390 teraflops, along with server and network equipment and a data storage system.
The project was implemented by the RSC Group. The network infrastructure is designed to allow experimental data to be collected simultaneously and independently from all 30 SKIF beamlines planned under the project. The existing computing cluster has sufficient capacity to process data from the first-stage beamlines. The system will operate continuously.
In the future, the computing cluster could be connected to other Russian supercomputers supporting megascience facilities through the National Research Computer Network.
