Computer Center

The N.T.U.A. Chemical Engineering Computer Center (CC) supports the teaching and research activities in the School, providing special training for the students and computer support for their Diploma and Doctoral Theses.

It also provides the Faculty members with computational facilities necessary for their teaching and research committments, through the use of network services, of the main work-station room (PC Lab), and the expertise of the CC staff in producing modern educational and computational software.

In addition to the above, the CC staff are also active in applied research, participating in external research programs and/or providing services to third parties, in computer and computations related matters.

At the Computer Center, two high-performance computing systems are in operation:

Andromeda
This is a four-node computing cluster designed for hybrid MPI/GPU computations. Each node is equipped with two Intel Xeon X5660 processors and two NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPUs, enabling demanding scientific computations through parallel use of both CPUs and GPUs.

Tyranistar
This system is equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-4880 processors, for a total of 60 cores, and 512 GB of RAM, making it suitable for large-scale applications in a shared-memory environment.

For information regarding access to the Andromeda and Tyranistar systems, please contact Mr. Dimitrios Fotopoulos.
