Overview

CSAG hosts a shared Oceanography and CSAG funded High Performance Computing (HPC) facility.  This facility provides HPC services to researchers and post-grad students across both departments.  Additionally, three staff members are involved in supporting the use of the facility ranging from day to operational and problem solving through to long term strategic planning, resourcing and development of the facility.

Resources

Currently the HPC resources are as follows:

A computational cluster consisting of 28 compute nodes:

5x 12 core AMD Opteron with 32GB RAM

4x 16 core AMD Opteron with 32GB RAM

19x 12 core AMD Operton with 16GB RAM

For a total of 352 compute cores

Mass data storage:

Distributed clustered (Lustre) file system (terra) with a capacity of 270TB

A home directory space (Glusterfs) filesystem (home) with a capacity of 16TB

A scratch space (Glusterfs) filesystem (scratch) with a capacity of 19TB

Current system load (past week)
