Resources

Resource	Centre	Total Requested	Upper Limit	Default Storage	Available	Unit	Note
Bianca	UPPMAX	913	100		1 100	x 1000 core-h/month
Allocations on Bianca will be scaled and transferred to the new NAISS system Maja for sensitive data. It is NAISS's best estimate now that this will occur during winter 2025/2026. More information will be announced as procurement and installation of Maja progress. 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.
