New Call for second period of 2025 (SDU employees only)

We are opening a new call to distribute the remaining resources for the second half of 2025 (1st July to 31st December).

The current call is continuously open until we have allocated all available resources. Cut-off dates for applications are the 1st and the 15th of every month, starting from 1st of August 2025.

Please note that:

this call is for SDU researchers only.
since this call is announced outside of the DeiC cycle of calls, it is NOT a requirement that you have also submitted an application to DeiC.

Available resources

For the present call, the following resources are available:

Type 1 – DeiC Interactive HPC

The type 1 system is mainly focused on interactive computing and easy access for users. The system is made of the YouGene cluster hosted at SDU (see cluster specs here) and the OpenStack cluster at AAU. SDU researchers can access the cluster resources via their UCloud account.

Resources available to SDU for the second half of 2025:

1,000,000 CPU core hours
100,000 GPU core hours

Type 2 – DeiC Throughput HPC

This type of HPC system typically has a large number of cores which can be a mix between cost-effective and calculation-efficient units. Type 2 also has the ability to handle large amounts of data and its main focus is on high-throughput performance.

There are three type 2 HPC systems available at national level for SDU researchers:

The hardware accessible to SDU users for a type 2 HPC project is shown in the table below.

Computerome 2.0	GenomeDK	Sophia
Xeon Gold 6230 Cascade Lake, 40 cores, 192 GB	AMD EPYC Rome 7452, 64 cores, 512 GB	AMD EPYC 7351, 32 cores, 128 GB

Resources available to SDU for the second half of 2025:

1,000,000 CPU core hours.

LUMI Capability HPC

LUMI is an abbreviation for “Large Unified Modern Infrastructure”. LUMI is one of the three European pre-exascale supercomputers part of the EuroHPC project and located in CSC’s data center in Kajaani, Finland.

Denmark participates in the consortium behind the LUMI supercomputer. Part of the LUMI machine therefore belongs exclusively to Denmark and is, in this sense, considered a national HPC resource.

For more information on LUMI, check the official documentation here.

CPU resources available to SDU for the second half of 2025:

1,050,000 CPU core hours
69,000 GPU hours.

How to apply

To access the HPC Type 2 and LUMI you must submit an application form via our service desk.

For Type1 resources, please fill out a project application via UCloud.

If you need help or advice on how to write your application, please contact the representative from your faculty in the SDU eScience Center Operational Board:
