The CHPC’s mission is to offer world-class high performance computing (HPC) that enables cutting-edge research with high impact on the South African economy. The Challenge In 2014, the CHPC embarked on a multi-year project to upgrade its entire HPC environment. Their existing estate, comprising four HPC clusters with a combined compute power of approximately 114 teraflops, were to be enhanced with the edition of a new petascale supercomputer. The system would be known as Lengau, which is a
