Globally recognized for pushing the boundaries of research and innovation, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is one of the United Kingdom’s leading higher education institutions, with 5 campuses in London plus sites across Europe and Asia. Queen Mary’s high-performance computing cluster supports a student and research community of over 2,000 users in disciplines including astronomy, computational chemistry, bioinformatics, computer science, engineering, mathematics and statistics, and clinical research.
QMUL needed a robust solution that could take them forward and allow their researchers to run any application type. Having eliminated offerings that were cost-prohibitive, migration-intensive, or lacked support, QMUL selected Altair® Grid Engine® for its rich features, high performance, large installed base, expert support, and easy upgrade path.
