Hardware

We provide multiple systems for working with sensitive data:

Verdi

Verdi is the current incarnation of our Data Science Platform, supporting use of both sensitive and non-sensitive data aimed at users of a wide range of expertise. It’s intended to enable long term data retention - allowing data to be accessed and worked with during periods of lower activity and making it easy to do compute at high end e-infrastructure provided by NAISS.

It consists of two main parts: CPU compute and GPU compute. The cluster has a CEPH-based storage with total capacity of 3.2 PB on Hard Drives and 153 TB Solid State Drives.

The nodes of the cluster is connected by dual 25 Gigabit Ethernet for all nodes.

DGX-2

The DGX-2 system is based on NVIDIA’s system of the same name. The system consists of a DGX-2 server with 15 V100 (32 GB) GPUs connected to a storage server with 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The machine used in virtual machines which divides the resources in quarters (3 or 4 GPUs depending on block). The full specifications of the machines are:
