Research Project Details
Project Duration: 
06/2017 to 06/2018
Results Achieved: 
The project has just started.
Remarks: 
It would take over a week to process the 60 million records of data (>30GB), during which other computing tasks cannot be performed on the computer. The HPC facility can greatly reduce the computing time by distributing the 60 million records into different nodes and compute simultaneously.
