New location for the HPC2N documentation

The documentation pages has a new server and a new layout. You can find it here: https://docs.hpc2n.umu.se/

On the documentation pages you find information like:

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.

LUMI Benchmark and Development 2024

Open for Proposals

The purpose of the LUMI Benchmark and Development calls is to support researchers and HPC application developers by giving them the opportunity to develop, test, optimise and benchmark their applications on the upcoming/available LUMI system prior to applying for a regular LUMI Sweden project.

To apply, you must be a scientist in Swedish academia, at least at the level of assistant professor. Normally previous experience from NAISS Medium/Large Compute projects, or equivalent, is required.

HPC2N "fika"

Welcome to the second online coffee-chat with HPC2N!

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.

This "HPC2N fika” will be on Thursday, 23 May at 13:00 – 14:00.

We will start with a few updates about HPC2N and our new hardware. After that the floor is open.
