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).
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.
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.
