HPC2N was one of four local research infrastructures with the potential to become infrastructures of national interest, which was granted funding from Umeå University.

Two new open positions at HPC2N, Umeå University

We just opened to apply for two positions at HPC2N, Umeå University.

HPC2N is one of Sweden's leading national supercomputing centers.

System engineer

Permanent, full-time position.

We are looking for a dedicated systems engineer that wants to work with cutting edge technology and who can help us in making HPC and AI available to a broader community of researchers. 

Deadline: 4 December 2023

Three open positions at HPC2N/SciLifeLab, Umeå University

Application Deadline: 12 November 2023

• System Engineer, IT - Data Engineer

• Research Engineer - Data Steward

• System Developer, IT

All are permanent positions and full time.

The NAISS Large and LUMI Sweden Fall 2023 calls are open

Node-Level Performance Engineering (4-6 December 2023)

This online course is given by Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in cooperation with NHR@FAU.

The course covers performance engineering approaches on the compute node level. Even application developers who are fluent in OpenMP and MPI often lack a good grasp of how much performance could at best be achieved by their code. This is because parallelism takes us only half the way to good performance.

No project proposals will be evaluated from midsummer through July. This applies to both NAISS projects and HPC2N local project allocations.

Last day to submit project proposals before the summer: 2023-06-22 (midnight, CEST).

Regular project allocations will resume by 2023-08-01.

You can find the current NAISS (and local) project rounds here: https://supr.naiss.se/round/

Have a nice summer!

2023-04-25: Webserver migration. Website will be down temporarily for a short time during 11:30 and 13:30.

UPDATE 2023-04-25, 12:27: Migration done. Website should work normally again.

Kebnekaise will be retired as a national resource

Operating since 2016, Kebnekaise remains a unique resource with its mix of standard CPU nodes, GPU nodes, large memory nodes and Intel Knights Landing nodes. Due to its age, as of 2023-01-01, Kebnekaise will no longer be available as a national resource via NAISS/SNIC. Instead, we refer to other national resources available through NAISS/SNIC, see NAISS/SNIC Rounds for more information on available resources.

The NAISS Large Spring 2023 calls are open

The NAISS Large Spring 2023 calls have opened. The deadline for submissions is 12 April 2023 at 3 PM CEST.

Please note that there are two calls–one for each of Large compute and Large storage.

Below some links refer to the SNIC site as the corresponding pages on the NAISS site is not ready yet.
