HPC2N coffee chats

These informal coffee-chats, "HPC2N fika", are meant for HPC2N’s current and potential users.  

It is a chance for you to discuss any HPC-related problems associated with your research and to get advice from HPC2N’s application experts and other staff.  We usually start with a few updates about what is new at HPC2N and sometimes a talk by a researcher who uses Kebnekaise. After that the floor is open. 

These "HPC2N fikas” will in the fall of 2025 be on

Summer break in project proposal processing

Apply no later than 30 June if you want project proposals processed before summer as nothing is processed during July.

Proposals will start being processed again in the first week of August.

You find the project rounds here in SUPR: https://supr.naiss.se/round/

Happy summer!

OpenOnDemand at HPC2N

The OpenOnDemand portal is now in production at HPC2N and can be used to login and work on Kebnekaise.

It should offer a more direct way to work interactively with (among other): Jupyter, RStudio, MATLAB, VS Code, ...

It is still a work in progress, so expect there to be regular changes as well as minor bugs and things that are being ironed out.

You can connect by pointing your browser to: https://portal.hpc2n.umu.se

The software documentation has been migrated to the documentation website, https://docs.hpc2n.umu.se/ and can now be found there under the menu header "SOFTWARE".

Dear users of HPC2N,

we want to inform you about the latest sets of new hardware available on Kebnekaise.

During the spring and summer we have installed some new nodes, both pure
CPU nodes and GPU nodes.

All nodes are based on AMD Zen4 CPUs. The pure CPU nodes have 256 cores/node. 
Most of the GPU nodes have dual Nvidia L40s cards, two nodes have
Nvidia quad-H100 SXM5 cards, and two nodes have 6xL40s cards.

Kebnekaise allocations will not be processed during summer.

Last day to submit project proposals that should be handled before the summer break: 27/6 2024

The allocations processing will begin again after summer, after 1st August.
