Resources

Resource	Centre	Total Requested	Upper Limit	Default Storage	Available	Unit	Note
Alvis	C3SE	236 416	—		124 971	GPU-h/month	This resource is only intended for AI/ML research.
This resource is only intended for research on AI/ML or research using AI/ML methods. Allocations on Alvis will be scaled and transferred to the new NAISS system Arrhenius once the latter becomes available. Our current best estimate is that this will occur early in 2026. Alvis is guaranteed to operate throughout 2025. More information will be announced as the procurement and installation of Arrhenius progresses. 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.
Mimer	C3SE	2 000	—	1 000	200 000	GiB
Mimer provide storage for Alvis. Allocations on Mimer will be scaled and transferred to storage on the new NAISS system Arrhenius once the latter becomes available. Our current best estimate is that this will occur early in 2026. Mimer is guaranteed to operate throughout 2025. More information will be announced as the procurement and installation of Arrhenius progresses. 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	NSC	21 992	—		14 500	x 1000 core-h/month
Allocations on Tetralith will be scaled and transferred to the new NAISS system Arrhenius once the latter becomes available. Our current best estimate is that this will occur late in 2025. More information will be announced as the procurement and installation of Arrhenius progresses. 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	PDC	32 119	—		28 000	x 1000 core-h/month
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.
Dardel-GPU	PDC	41 572	—		105 000	GPU-h/month
Dardel-GPU is the accelerated partition based on AMD’s Instinct MI250X GPU of the Cray EX system from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. It has an accompanying Lustre storage system. The nodes are interconnected using Slingshot HPC Ethernet.
