If you are a researcher at SDU, you can now apply for so called large projects for HPC resources. The resources allocated in this call will be available 1st of January 2024. Please submit your application no later than the 5th of October 2023<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large projects are projects that require more than 50.000 CPU-hours, 1000 GPU-hours and\/or 20TB of data. Remember that a requirement for submitting an application for a large project at SDU is that the same application has been submitted to the national DeiC call<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for applying to the current DeiC call for national resources is the 5th of September 2023<\/strong>. Find out how to apply via the DeiC website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that if you are applying for less than 50.000 CPU-hours, 1000 GPU-hours and\/or 20TB of data, you are also welcome to submit an application during this call – in fact you can submit this type of applications (a so called regular project) at any time. Find out more about how to apply for a regular project here<\/a>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Available resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SDU researchers can apply for resources on the following national HPC systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type1 \u2013 DeiC Interactive HPC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>) and the OpenStack cluster at AAU. SDU researchers can access the cluster resources via their UCloud<\/a> account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resources available to SDU for the first half of 2024: 1,000,000 CPU core hours and 100,000 GPU core hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 2 \u2013 DeiC Throughput HPC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three type 2 HPC systems available at national level for SDU researchers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
