The large parallel system will be located at the University of Toronto (SciNet), and is expected to have something like 60,000 cores.
Niagara will be a large parallel system, located at the University of Toronto (SciNet), and is anticipated to have approximately 66,000 CPU cores. This will be a balanced, tightly coupled high performance computing resource, designed mainly for large parallel workloads. Compute Canada is aiming to deploy this system later in 2017.
