Deep within the structure of the Mathematics and Computer building (MC) at the University of Waterloo lies one of the most sophisticated and important digital research computing systems in Canada. The newly refreshed system, named Nibi, recently replaced the Graham supercomputer.
The powerful system has more than 700 nodes and 140,000 CPU cores allowing Nibi to undertake countless simultaneous computational jobs. It ranks in the top 500 research computing systems in the world.
“Nibi’s launch represents a defining moment for Canada’s digital research infrastructure," said Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions. "It equips our researchers with the advanced computing power they need to push the boundaries of discovery, strengthen our economy, and lead on the global stage. With its cutting-edge, energy-efficient design, Nibi is not only supporting today’s transformative projects, it is laying the foundation for the next generation of Canadian innovation from coast to coast to coast.”
