Prof. Hollingworth has informed me that DIT has acquired a small test Dell cluster with multi-core ARM processors in each node, with an Infiniband interconnect. If any group is interested in doing a project on a new architecture, we can work with Prof. Hollingsworth to define the project and get access to the cluster.
