The Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy Science Gateway has been created to access the ilifu OpenStack system that is based at the University of Cape Town. Much of the work done on ilifu is processing data from the MeerKAT telescope, which is a precursor of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). This is the start of creating tools that can be used to set up a federation of...
The need for High Performance Computing as a third pillar of investigations for physics discoveries has been clearly demonstrated globally. In South Africa the need for HPC has been driven from many sectors of science and engineering, and physics has been one of the major drivers. For example many activities in material science in search of solutions for mineral beneficiation, participation in...
