Decided

This round has been closed as all proposals have been handled.

This NAISS-SENS round is for medium-scale projects involving sensitive personal data on the Bianca system. For projects requiring less than 20 TB of storage or 10 kch/month of compute, please see the SMALL round.

Please read the detailed instructions here to ensure a successful application.

Note: If the PI is not affiliated with Uppsala University, it is the PI's responsibility to establish a Personal Data Assistant Agreement (personuppgiftbiträdesavtal) with Uppsala University? (see this FAQ for instructions

Resources

Resource	Centre	Total Requested	Upper Limit	Available	Unit	Note
Bianca	UPPMAX	510	100	1 100	x 1000 core-h/month
Bianca is a research system dedicated to analysing sensitive personal data, or other types of sensitive data. Bianca provides 4480 cores in the form of 204 dual CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3) Huawei XH620 V3 nodes with 128GB memory, 75 fat nodes with 256 GB of memory, 15 nodes with 512 GB of memory, ten nodes with two NVIDIA A100 40GB GPUs each.
Castor /proj	UPPMAX	648 040	100 000	1 000 000	GiB
30-day incremental backup included. This file area is suitable for static or slow-changing data that is difficult or impossible to reproduce. Castor is the storage resource attached to Bianca, the NAISS SENS research cluster. The /proj area is backed up.
Castor /proj/nobackup	UPPMAX	199 410	50 000	1 000 000	GiB
This file area is suitable for fast-changing data and data that is replicated elsewhere. Castor is the storage resource attached to Bianca, the SNIC SENS research cluster. The /proj/nobackup area is not backed up.
Cygnus /proj	UPPMAX	382 600	100 000	1 000 000	GiB	Cygnus will replace Castor soon. For now, you can apply for either and will get an equal amount of both.
Cygnus will replace Castor soon. For now, you can apply for either and will get an equal amount of both. Cygnus is the new storage resource attached to Bianca, the NAISS SENS research cluster. The /proj area is backed up.
Cygnus /proj/nobackup	UPPMAX	111 400	50 000	1 000 000	GiB	Cygnus will replace Castor soon. For now, you can apply for either and will get an equal amount of both.
