HPC @ Fysikum Documentation Site

This site is designed to support the High Performance Computing (HPC) services provided by the Department of Physics (Fysikum) at Stockholm University. It provides information on usage, policy and best practices, alongide application documentation for the HPC cluster at Fysikum.

Sunrise

Sunrise is a heterogeneous HPC cluster comprising 68 compute nodes with 5048 cores in total (mostly AMD EPYC architecture), 40 TiB of memory, 8x NVIDIA HGX A100 80 GB and 8x NVIDIA A100 40 GB GPU cards. The interconnect is InfiniBand 100 GBps EDR. The HPL performance details are given here: Fysikum HPL. The cluster is managed by the Technical Division @ Fysikum for the primary purpose of supporting research performed at the Department of Physics.

Accessing the cluster

The cluster is accessed through the login nodes. The protocol is ssh. The passwords are disabled. When requesting access, please send us your public key. To apply for an HPC account, complete the form at https://it.fysik.su.se/hpc-reg/ and submit it.

Getting started

The links on the left contain the information on how to log in, submit a job, and a description of the various nodes available on the cluster. There is also a current list of installed applications and how to use some of the more popular ones.
