Proposals are processed weekly.
Note that staff will be on vacation during the summer and proposals submitted in July will be processed at a reduced pace.
This round is open for proposals until 2023-01-01 00:00.
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.
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 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.

Active project storage without backup for local HPC2N projects.
Proposals will be evaluated within a few working days. Projects will receive a default 500 GiB storage allocation on Centre Storage at NSC. For additional storage, please apply for a Storage project.
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.
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 is a Cray EX system from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, based on AMD EPYC processors with an accompanying Lustre storage system.
The nodes are interconnected using Slingshot HPC Ethernet.
When a storage allocation has been approved, any data belonging to the
project needs to be moved from the users directories and
into the project directory as soon as possible. More information about project directories in
Klemming can be found at
https://www.pdc.kth.se/support/documents/data_management/lustre.html.
Project storage for NAISS as well as PDC projects with compute allocations on resources hosted by PDC.
Klemming is designed for fast access from compute resources at PCD. It uses the Lustre parallel file system, which is optimized for handling data from many clients at the same time. The total size of Klemming is 12 PB.

Life science/big data/HTC compute resource
Life science/big data/HTC compute resource at UPPMAX. Mounts the Crex file system.
Rackham provides 9720 cores in the form of 486 nodes with two 10-core Intel Xeon V4 CPUs each. 4 fat nodes have 1 TB of memory, 32 fat nodes have 256 GB, and the rest have 128 GB.
The interconnect is Infiniband.
