Services
The Department's cluster is a shared HPC (high-performance computing) environment serving the departmental research community with diverse research requirements.
Also, we have two different systems for data storage:
-
A traditional NFS for generic use.
-
A high-performance storage system (GPFS) for computing use.
These systems are connected with all our infrastructure.
Moreover, we offer different additional services:
-
Hosting of additional research systems within a virtual cluster system.
-
Data center server maintenance.
