Prof. Ekow Otoo and myself were invited to attend a meeting with employees of the Centre for High-performance Computing (CHPC) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST) on January 29th. The aim of the meeting was to discuss the strategic objectives for the next three years. The CHPC plays a central role in providing and facilitating the use of large computing resources to a wide range of disciplines.
More details on the meeting are available at the CHPC website:

The CHPC hosts 1200 cores and about 800 TB of disk the SA-ALICE and SA-ATLAS clusters. It is intended to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with CERN on the creation of a Tier2 centre that complies with the corresponding requirements. We are all very excited at the prospects.
Below is a picture of the CHPC Director, Dr Happy Sithole, standing next to the above mentioned resources that have been earmarked for the SA-ALICE and SA-ATLAS clusters.

Dr. Happy Sithole and myself have discussed areas of cooperation between the CHPC and our High-throughput electronics laboratory (HTEL). The Advanced Computing Engineering Lab (ACE) deals with new technologies a the CHPC. It was felt that ACE and the HTEL could work on high-throughput Below are pictures of a the front and back-plane of a 100 Mbps system that has been donated to the CHPC and that the HTEL could also profit from.
