This round has already been decided by the committee and is not open for proposals.
This round gives access to the Swedish share of the pan-European pre-exascale supercomputer LUMI in the EuroHPC programme for CPU-only workloads, and storage, during 2021.
Beware that the autumn of 2021 is an installation period before the resource is made generally available in January 2022.
LUMI is a general computational resource hosted by CSC in Finland.
LUMI, Large Unified Modern Infrastructure, is an HPE Cray EX supercomputer consisting of several partitions targeted for different use cases. The largest partition of the system is the LUMI-G partition consisting of GPU-accelerated nodes using AMD Instinct GPUs. In addition to this, there is a smaller CPU-only partition LUMI-C that features AMD Epyc CPUs and an auxiliary partition for data analytics with large memory nodes and some GPUs for data visualization.
The LUMI consortium countries are Finland, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland. The acquisition and operation of the EuroHPC Supercomputer are jointly funded by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the LUMI consortium. The Swedish Research Council has contributed approx. 3.5% of the funding. A corresponding share of the system is reserved for Swedish research, but researchers are encouraged to apply for resources from the JU part of LUMI and other EuroHPC resources.
Storage is applied for using TB-hours. Flash storage, LUMI-F, is accounted at ten times the TB-hour rate, i.e. use of 1TB of Flash storage for one hour costs 10 TB-hours. Lustre storage, LUMI-P, is accounted at the TB-hour rate. CEPH object storage, LUMI-O, is accounted at ½ the TB-hour rate, i.e. use of 1TB of CEPH storage for one hour costs 0.5 TB-hours. The total size of the Swedish part LUMI storage system is 35 412 000 TB-hours.
