Niagara will be a large parallel system, owned by the University of Toronto and operated by SciNet, and is expected to have approximately 60,000 CPU cores. This will be a balanced, tightly-coupled high performance computing resource, designed mainly for large parallel workloads. Compute Canada plans to deploy this system early 2018. Niagara is an allocatable resource in the 2018 Resource Allocation Competition (RAC 2018), which comes into effect on April 1, 2018.
