Scientific Computing
Scientific Computing provides a wide range of scientific software, public and user-dedicated Unix workstations, a powerful computing and storage cluster and support and advice.
A central computing cluster maintained by the Scientific Computing facility. The cluster helps LMB end users visualise data that requires significant compute resources.
The computer cluster can be accessed by all staff and consists of CPU nodes (providing 7,280 CPU cores), a general-purpose GPU cluster (272 GPUs) and a small machine learning cluster with 32 GPUs. Data storage systems comprise 1 PB Lustre scratch storage, 20 PB of resilient ceph storage and 2 PB of bulk ZFS data storage.
Scientific Computing also provides Unix infrastructure to the LMB, including directory services, Nextcloud, email and a virtualisation cluster.
