NAISS SENS Small 2023

Decided

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

This NAISS-SENS round is for small-scale projects involving sensitive personal data on the Bianca system.

Detailed instructions on how to apply can be found here.

For a SENS Small project, the abstract should include a brief description of the planned work and a clear statement that the work involves sensitive personal data. A short motivation of the requested resources is also appropriate.

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

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 218 385 14 000 400 000 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 214 400 14 000 400 000 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 106 005 14 000 400 000 GiB Cygnus will replace Castor soon. For now, you can apply for either and will get an equal amount of both.
