  • 2 x 256 GB of RAM and NVIDIA k4200 for remote graphics
Each node have 2 CPUs with 10 cores each. There's a 10Gigabit Ethernet network used for logins, and a dedicated management network and an Infiniband high-speed/low-latency network for parallel computations and filesystem access. The nodes are equipped with Mellanox ConnectX-3 FDR Infiniband 56Gbps HCA's.
Abisko HPC2N 5 875 160 2 000 x 1000 core-h/month Proposals will be evaluated at most once per month
The cluster has 15744 cores with a peak performance of over 150 Tflops/s. For high parallel performance, the system is equipped with a high bandwidth, low latency QDR InfiniBand interconnect, with full bisectional bandwidth. All nodes have at least 2 GB/core and some nodes have over 8 GB/core. For more information about the system and available software see the HPC2N web-pages.
Akka HPC2N 538 80 2 000 x 1000 core-h/month Proposals will be evaluated at most once per month
The cluster contains 672 nodes each in a dual quad-core configuration, for a total of 5376 cores. The CPU:s are the Intel L5420 low-power CPU:s running at 2.5 GHz, giving each node a total peak performance of 80 Gflops/s. Each node is equipped with 16 GB RAM for a total of more than 10 Terabytes of RAM. For high parallel performance, the system is equipped with a high bandwidth, low latency InfiniBand interconnect. Scratch storage is provided by a 100 TB disk-subsystem running GPFS. For more information about the system and available software see the HPC2N web-pages. Akka will be closed down at the end of 2012. In this round we will only award 6 months allocations.
Alarik LUNARC 3 227 120 1 500 x 1000 core-h/month
Alarik was cluster consisting of 208 nodes. Each nodes had 2 eightcore CPU:s with 32-64 GB memory and 250 GB local scratch. The interconnect was Infiniband with 40 Gb/s. The system was connected to a gigabit Ethernet. Alarik has been decomissioned.
Erik LUNARC 94 8 66 x 1000 core-h/month
Erik is the SNIC GPU Pilot system. Special review is done before accepting applications. Allocation is done in ch/m based on gpu:s in the system. Erik will retire as a SNIC resource on 2017-01-01 NOTE: SNIC GPU Pilot allocation info, http://www.lunarc.lu.se/Support/snic-gpu-pilot-allocation-information
Gardar NHPC 200 200 646 x 1000 core-h/month Gardar is scheduled to be decommissioned on 2015/12/31
Only for projects with small storage demands. Only for experienced SNIC users, with small demands on application support. Handled by UPPMAX, support address support-nhpc@uppmax.uu.se.
Triolith NSC 15 895 200 6 000 x 1000 core-h/month Applications will be evaluated once a month.
Triolith (triolith.nsc.liu.se) was a capability cluster with a total of 24320 cores and a peak performance of 428 Tflops/s. However, Triolith was shrunk by 576 nodes on April 3rd, 2017 as a result of a delay in funding a replacement system and now has a peak performance of 260 Teraflop/sec and 16,368 compute cores. It is equipped with a fast interconnect for high performance for parallel applications. The operating system is CentOS 6.x x86_64. Each of the 1520 (now 944) HP SL230s compute servers is equipped with two Intel E5-2660 (2.2 GHz Sandybridge) processors with 8 cores each (i.e. 16 cores per compute server). 56 of the compute servers have 128 GiB memory each and the remaining 888 have 32 GiB each. The fast interconnect is Infiniband from Mellanox (FDR IB, 56 Gb/s) in a 2:1 blocking configuration. Triolith have been replaced with a new system, Tetralith, that was made available to users on August 23, 2018. NSC currently plan to keep Triolith in operation and available to users until September 21st, 2018. After that, Triolith will be permanently shut down and decommissioned.
Beskow PDC 14 002 200 7 500 x 1000 core-h/month Beskow is temporarily unavailable since the cluster is full until the end of this round.
New proposal for Beskow for this round cannot be submitted since the cluster is overbooked until the end of this resource round. New proposal will have to be submitted to the upcoming round next year.
Tintin UPPMAX 1 931 80 395 x 1000 core-h/month Tintin is scheduled to be decommissioned in Spring 2016
160 compute servers, each with two AMD Opteron 6220 (3.0 GHz 8 core Bulldozer) CPUs. 144 of the nodes have 64 GB memory and 16 have 128 GB memory. All nodes have 1 TB local disc. All nodes are interconnected with a 2:1 oversubscribed QDR Infiniband fabric. There is also 4 nodes with Tesla GPU graphics card. SNICs share of the Tintin system is 85.9%, i.e. about 137 compute servers.
