Available resources

Locally funded resources

We host some resources funded locally available for Chalmers users (and some groups at GU). Policies for distribution and usage of these are decided by the e-Commons steering group. All Chalmers department have an allocation on the computing resource Vera, For details about all local allocations (including student allocations) see Vera allocations.

We currently host the following locally funded resources:

  • Vera - Cluster with powerful compute nodes.
  • Cephyr - CephFS based center storage connected to Vera
  • Cephyr S3 - Ceph based, S3-compatible object storage, available worldwide

NAISS-resources

Chalmers e-Commons/C3SE is one of six centres in the national metacenter National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden. NAISS resources can be applied for by researchers at any Swedish university.

Senior researchers at Swedish universities are eligible to apply for access and computer time on any NAISS systems hosted by us or any other NAISS center. An approved application from a principal investigator results in a "NAISS-Project" that in turn is assigned computer time allocations on one (or several) computer systems. All proposals are handled via the NAISS rounds in SUPR

We used to host the following NAISS systems

  • Alvis - Cluster dedicated to AI and ML research (decomissioned).
  • Mimer - Flash based fast storage connected to Alvis
