Fourth Irish Supercomputer List Released

The Fourth Irish Supercomputer List was released this week. This is the first time in the history of the list that there has been no change since the last update. There are several proposed installations that we are anticipating late in 2015 and early in 2016. In the meantime we will be updating some statistics which will be available at www.IrishSupercomputerList.org soon. ISL
