The High Performance Computing (HPC) team is keen to spread Linux and HPC knowledge at Queen Mary University of London. Keeping in mind our vision to support excellence in research, our valuable efforts have been fruitful this year. Our achievements include:
We have deployed the latest version of Environment Modules (5.3.0) across the cluster on all frontend and compute nodes.
The ITSR support team have some changes to R and RStudio on Apocrita in August 2023. Some action will be required by users, so please read the below carefully.
Hello world, my name is Julita Inca and I am originally from Lima, Peru. I am currently based in London, UK. My professional focus is High Performance Computing (HPC) and Linux.
Since the last module update in December 2021, we have:
As the current 2 PetaByte Research Data Storage on Apocrita reaches end of life this summer, we have procured a new storage system, providing 5PB of capacity. This means faster, bigger and cheaper storage for you, the researcher! Read on to discover the benefits...but first, an important notice.
Since the last module update in December 2019, we have:
As a result of the large-scale shift to remote working due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been asked various questions relating to computational research, which we'll try to address below. We've seen an increase in the number of new account requests for the HPC service, and we realise there will be quite a few users wishing to run workloads on the cluster for the first time. Fortunately, the design of the HPC cluster service means that for many of you, your workflow may remain the same as when you were based on-campus.
Here is a round-up of recent QMUL HPC cluster news from the ITS Research team, including information about new compute nodes.
Since the last module update in August, we have added 22 modules to dev, added 22 modules to production and removed 4 modules.
