SHARCNET
Sharcnet (Shared Hierarchical Academic ResearchComputing Network) was established June 2001 as a joint initiativebetween McMaster University, The University of Western Ontario, andthe University of Guelph and was funded upon grant applications tothe Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Ontario InnovationTrust (OIT) and the Ontario Research and Development Challenge Fund(ORDCF). It is a consortium of Canadian academic institutionssharing a network of high performance computers (HPC) towards thegoal of accelerating computational academic research.SHARCNET's aim is to attract the brightest in the field toSHARCNET's partner institutions by providing expertise inhardware and to link academic researchers to corporate partnerslooking for new business opportunities. SHARCNET aims to directlytarget researchers with large problems that could not otherwise becontemplated outside of the use of HPC.
The original seven institutions of SHARCNET consortium included
McMaster University, The University of Western Ontario, University
of Guelph, University of Windsor, Wilfrid Laurier University,
Fanshawe College and Sheridan College.
