Submit your proposal at least one week before the end of a month to be considered for an allocation from the first of the following month. Received proposals will be evaluated against each other and time that become available as project ends at the end of a month will be allocated to the proposed projects accordingly.
Berzelius is an NVIDIA SuperPOD consisting of 94 DGX-A100 nodes, sporting a total of 752 NVIDIA A100 GPUs.
The SuperPOD uses the SLURM resource manager and job scheduler. The original 60 DGX-A100 nodes have 8x NVIDIA A100 GPUs (40GB), 128 CPU cores (2x AMD Epyc 7742), 1 TB of RAM and 15 TB of NVMe SSD local disk. The 34 newer DGX-A100 nodes have 8x NVIDIA A100 GPUs (80GB), 128 CPU cores (2x AMD Epyc 7742), 2 TB of RAM and 30 TB of NVMe SSD local disk. High performance central storage is available using 4x AI400X and 2x AI400X2 from DDN, serving 1.5 PB of storage space to all nodes of the cluster. All DGX-A100 GPUs have dedicated Mellanox HDR InfiniBand HBAs, that is, there are 8 Mellanox HDR HBAs per DGX-A100 node, connected in a full bisection bandwidth, fat-tree topology.

High performance central storage is available using 4x AI400X and 2x AI400X2, serving a total of 1.5 PB of storage to all nodes of the cluster via a dedicated InfiniBand interconnect. Aggregate read IO performance is 320 GB/s from the central storage and the dedicated data interconnect bandwidth per node is 25 GB/s.
NSC centre storage (as available on Tetralith) is not accessible on Berzelius.
