In addition to the resources available from the national supercomputing center (GENCI) and from the regional computing mesocenter CALMIP, the LCPQ has a local cluster. This cluster is constituted from several nodes that are characterized by different configurations which match the needs of the different teams. Here is a brief description of the cluster, totalizing 120 nodes, i.e. 1640 cores/2672 threads and more than 10 TB of RAM :
For parallel computing :
64 HP moonshot nodes : 8 cores and 16 GB of ram per node.
2 AMD Barcelona nodes : 48 cores and 128 GB of ram per node.
14 intel sandy bridge nodes : 16 cores and 64 GB of ram per node.
7 intel ivy bridge nodes : 20 cores and 64 GB of ram per node.
9 intel haswell nodes : 24 cores and 128 GB of ram per node.
4 intel broadwell nodes : 28 cores and 128 GB of ram per node.
5 intel skylake nodes : 32 cores and 192 GB of ram per node.
1 AMD epyc node : 32 cores and 256 GB of ram per node.
For monolithic computing :
1 intel westmere node : 12 cores and 192 GB of ram.
4 intel sandy bridgenodes : 8 cores, 128 GB of ram per node and dedicated local disks per node.
1 intel ivy bridge node : 20 cores, 128 GB of ram.
2 intel haswell nodes : 4 cores, 192 GB of ram per node and dedicated SSDs per node.
1 intel haswell node : 8 cores, 512 GB of ram per node and dedicated SSDs per node.
2 intel haswell nodes : 8 cores, 512 GB of ram per node and dedicated SSDs per node.
1 intel broadwell node : 8 cores, 512 GB of ram and dedicated SSDs per node.
1 intel broadwell node : 16 cores, 512 GB of ram and dedicated SSDs per node.
1 intel skylake node : 8 cores, 384 GB of ram and dedicated SSDs.
For storage :
A 33 TB BeeGFS filesystem available on each nodes.
A 15 TB archiving space available for users.
Computing are managed by the SLURM workload manager. This cluster is hosted at the Université Paul Sabatier datacenter.
