01What is being requested

Stichting NWO-I has opened a public tender for the supply of technical hardware for replacement within the LOFAR CEP-Upgrade project. The assignment includes replacing the Cobalt-2 correlator with a GPU-based Cobalt-3 system and upgrading the CEP-4 post-processing cluster to a CEP-6 version. The tender was published on 12-06-2024, closes on 2[telefoonnummer verwijderd]:00 CET, is closed, and has an unknown value.

Within the CEP Upgrade project, a tender was previously conducted for two network switches for the Central Processor. The focus is now on the following steps: • Replacement of the Cobalt 2 correlator used for interferometry and beamforming with a new GPU-based Cobalt 3 system that supports data processing with tensor cores at the speeds required for the DUPLLO project; • Replacement of the CEP4 post-processing cluster and data storage with a comparable CEP6 cluster and CEP6 data storage capable of supporting the required calculations and data speeds for the DUPLLO project.
