Compute Cloud of SuperMUC-NG
Additionally to SuperMUC-NG itself, some cloud nodes have been purchased. The Compute Cloud currently consists of:
Cloud Node Type | Number of Nodes | CPUs (Cores) | RAM (GB) | GPUs |
Cloud Compute Node | 82 | 40 (@ 2.4 GHz) | 192 GB | |
Cloud GPU Node | 32 | 40 (@ 2.4 GHz) | 768 GB | 2x Nvidia Tesla V100 |
Cloud Huge Node | 1 | 192 (@ 2.1 GHz) | 6,000 GB |
Currently only basic OS images are provided and the disk space is limited.
We will add OS images for remote visualization and images with access to specific SuperMUC-NG file systems later.
In the LRZ Compute Cloud we give you maximal freedom to pursue your research. This complete freedom necessitates a high degree of responsibility on your side: you are responsible for the security of your VMs! Only open them to outside connections as much as is absolutely necessary - not more!
Users must follow the Acceptable Use Policy (https://idmportal.lrz.de/regelwerk/cloudAUP.pdf). With the next change of their password users are also requested to explicitly accept this policies.
Before you start, please read our documentation: https://doku.lrz.de/display/PUBLIC/Compute+Cloud
If you are new to Cloud computing we highly recommend to have a look at our tutorial on how to create a virtual machine to get an idea of our cloud software: https://doku.lrz.de/display/PUBLIC/Create+a+VM
Please remember to shelve your VMs when not used.
If you are interested in using the LRZ Compute Cloud, please send a ticket to the LRZ Cloud Team
