High-performing computing (HPC) reseller OCF has implemented a high performance computing cluster (HPCC) known as Gemstone at the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL).
Cumbria-based NNL is using Gemstone to create and integrate up to seven different 4D computer based models, such as ground water flow or aerial dispersion modelling over time.
This then produces a single set of results for its customers in five days instead of four weeks, which is how long 4D models processed in series normally takes.

The NNL boasts customers such as Sellafield Ltd, British Energy, the Ministry of Defence, UKAEA, NDA, VT Nuclear, and the Atomic Weapons Establishment.
Mark Bankhead, project leader at the NNL, said: “Our existing highly skilled workforce combined with our new exceptional HPCC facility enables us to offer unique products and services.
“Ultimately, we are putting in place tools to support our customers as they ramp up activity to meet the UK’s new renewed focus on nuclear power.”
The HPCC was live within 12 months and the NNL expects to see return on investment within 18-24 months.
