Alvis C3SE 394 070 20 000 390 000 GPU-h/month The Alvis resource is dedicated for AI/ML research.

The Alvis cluster is a national NAISS resource dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning research.

Note: Significant generation of training data is expected to be done elsewhere.

The system is built around Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) accelerator cards. The first phase of the resource has 160 NVIDIA T4, 44 V100, and 4 A100 GPUs. The second phase is based on 340 NVIDIA A40 and 336 A100 GPUs.
Cephyr NOBACKUP C3SE 2 500 — 500 100 000 GiB
Project storage based on Ceph with a total usable area of 5 PiB.
  • 14 Storage servers, each with 3 NvMe:s (for database and journal).
  • 7 JBOD, each with 42 14 TiB HDD:s.
Mimer C3SE 12 000 — 500 100 000 GiB

Project storage attached to Alvis and Vera, dedicated for AI/ML

Mimer is an all-flashed based storage system based on as solution from WEKA IO. It consists of an 0.6 PB all-flash tier and a 7 PB Ceph based bulk storage tier (with spinning disk).
Kebnekaise HPC2N 6 706 200 2 000 x 1000 core-h/month Kebnekaise is, due to age, no longer available in SNIC rounds. HPC2N partner sites can apply for time in ‘HPC2N Local’ rounds.
Kebnekaise will, due to its age, not be available for SNIC/NAIS Medium/Small rounds after 2022-12-31. We have therefore deactivated these resources in the corresponding rounds. For HPC2N partner sites there is a possibility to apply for resources in the ‘HPC2N Local Compute/Storage’ rounds with the caveat listed on the resources in the Local rounds.

This resource is for access to the CPU nodes in Kebnekaise.

For GPU nodes see resource 'Kebnekaise GPU'.

For large memory nodes see resource 'Kebnekaise Large Memory'.

 

Kebnekaise is a heterogeneous computing resource currently consisting of: Notes:
  1. Access to the GPU nodes are handled through the 'Kebnekaise GPU' resource.
  2. Access to the Large Memory nodes are handled through the 'Kebnekaise Large Memory' resource.
  3. New nodes will be procured on a semi-regular basis.
Kebnekaise Large Memory HPC2N 111 10 50 x 1000 core-h/month Kebnekaise is, due to age, no longer available in SNIC rounds. HPC2N partner sites can apply for time in ‘HPC2N Local’ rounds.

Active project storage without backup for local HPC2N projects.
Tetralith NSC 21 572 200 11 500 x 1000 core-h/month

Tetralith is a general computational resource hosted by NSC at Linköping University.

Tetralith servers have two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, providing 32 cores per server. 1844 of the servers are equipped with 96 GiB of primary memory and 64 servers with 384 GiB. All servers are interconnected with a 100 Gbit/s Intel Omni- Path network which is also used to connect the existing storage. Each server has a local SSD disk for ephemeral storage (approx. 200GiB per thin node, 900GiB per fat node). An IBM Spectrum Scale system comprises the centre storage. 170 of the Tetralith nodes are equipped with one NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU each as well as a high- performance NVMe SSD scratch disk of 2TB.
Centre Storage NSC 60 000 — 500 60 000 GiB

Project storage for NAISS as well as LiU Local projects with compute allocations on resources hosted by NSC.

Centre Storage @ NSC is designed for fast access from compute resources at NSC. It consists of one IBM ESS GL6S building block and one IBM ESS 5000 SC4 building block.

In total there are 946 spinning hard disks and a small number of NVRAM devices and SSDs which act as a cache to speed up small writes. The total disk space that is usable for storing files is approximately 6.9 PiB.
Dardel PDC 13 450 200 11 900 x 1000 core-h/month
