Parallel computing and Informatics Server manuals

Parallel computing and informatics server consists of the following servers.

  1. Cloud service server (calculation server)
  2. Cloud service server (virtual server)
  3. Visualization server

Purpose

  1. Cloud service server (calculation server)
  2. Users can submit jobs through PBS job scheduling software from the front-end nodes. It is mainly used for running non-parallelized programs or small jobs which run with less than 2 nodes. The main memory size is 567 GiB per node. It is less than Large-scale parallel computing server and Accelerator server, but the CPU frequency is better than them. If you run small jobs, it may be efficient to use this server. Also, users can run several non-parallelized jobs in one job simultaneously.


  3. Cloud service server (virtual server)
  4. Users can use to occupy this server (32 cores per node, 36 cores per user, and available period is up to 4 weeks) by reserving from reservation portal site. This server provides data integration, analysis, and visualization functions to promote research by materials informatics. Users can use server which has 32 cores up to 4 weeks. So, users can run long time job in this server.

    Reservation portal site:
    https://cmsportal.sc.imr.tohoku.ac.jp/reservation_portal/login


  5. Visualization server
  6. Users can use application programs to visualize simulation results.
