NAISS Large Storage Spring 2024

SUPR uses JavaScript for certain functions. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to use the system with JavaScript disabled.

Decided

This round has already been decided by the committee and is not open for proposals.

The storage must be for use together with current or future NAISS compute projects. To apply, you must hold an appointment of at least 60 percent as a scientist in Swedish academia, at least at the level of assistant professor.

Resources

Resource	Centre	Total Requested	Upper Limit	Available	Unit	Note
Mimer	C3SE	150 000	—	2 000 000	GiB	This storage resource is connected to the AI/ML resource Alvis at C3SE.
This storage resource is connected to the AI/ML resource Alvis at C3SE. 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).
Centre Storage	NSC	1 249 540	—	1 980 000	GiB	Storage resource connected to compute resources Tetralith and Sigma at NSC.
Storage resource connected to compute resources Tetralith and Sigma at NSC. The end date of granted storage allocations will be adjusted to match the end date of compute projects that will utilizing the storage allocation. Project storage for NAISS as well as LiU Local projects with compute allocations on resources hosted by NSC. Centre Storage @ NSC is designed for fast access from compute resources at NSC. It consists of one IBM ESS GL6S building block and one IBM ESS 5000 SC4 building block. In total there are 946 spinning hard disks and a small number of NVRAM devices and SSDs which act as a cache to speed up small writes. The total disk space that is usable for storing files is approximately 6.9 PiB.
Klemming	PDC	1 464 990	—	3 000 000	GiB
Project storage for NAISS as well as PDC projects with compute allocations on resources hosted by PDC. Klemming is designed for fast access from compute resources at PCD. It uses the Lustre parallel file system, which is optimized for handling data from many clients at the same time. The total size of Klemming is 12 PB.
dCache	Swestore	879	—	1 000	TiB
Swestore is a Research Data Storage Infrastructure, intended for active research data and operated by the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden, NAISS, The storage resources provided by Swestore are made available for free for academic research funded by VR and Formas through open calls such that the best Swedish research is supported and new research is facilitated. The purpose of Swestore allocations, granted by National Allocations Committee (NAC), is to provide large scale data storage for “live” or “working” research data, also known as active research data. See the documentation at: https://docs.swestore.se
Crex 1	UPPMAX	1 940 000	—	1 700 000	GiB	Open for continuation proposals only. Will be decommissioned on 2024-12-31.
Crex will be decommissioned on 2024-12-31. All data remaining on the system on that date will be lost. This resource is open for continuation proposals only. Accepted continuation projects on Crex will be granted matching allocations on Klemming and be expected to move to that system, unless otherwise indicated. All proposals must include a strategy for transferring data from Crex. See https://www.uppmax.uu.se/uppmax-news/?tarContentId=1069594 Active data storage for Rackham projects. Primarily for life science projects.
