The Department of Computer Science purchased the high performance cluster Ukko at the end of 2009, and the cluster was taken into use in summer 2010. The Ukko cluster is used by the research projects of the department for solving highly computationally intensive tasks. These tasks include, for example, evaluating the performance of network algorithms and applications in practice, using the cluster as a network emulator. The cluster is  available for all the users of the department, and the IT support group of the department is responsible for the maintanance of the cluster.
