Signaloid, a computing company based in Cambridge, England, has joined CERN openlab, the public-private partnership through which CERN evaluates emerging information technologies for scientific computing. The announcement places Signaloid in CERN openlab's heterogeneous architectures testbed.
As part of the collaboration, CERN and Signaloid will work together within the testbed, though the announcement does not specify the technical scope or timeline. CERN openlab gives external companies a route into CERN's computing environment, while allowing CERN to assess new technologies for its scientific programmes.
For Signaloid, the partnership is a chance to test its technology in a demanding research setting. For CERN, it is another data point in its ongoing evaluation of heterogeneous architectures. Further details were not included in the announcement.
