The Center for Climate Science and Resilience (CR)2 uses NLHPC resources to carry out their scientific research.
The aim is for the the Center for Climate Science and Resilience (CR)2 to be a world class research center, focused on Terrestrial System Science, that in an interdisciplinary way and with a very close relationship with the linked actors, enhances the understanding of this systems and contributes to increasing the resilience capacity in Chile.
The realization of climate simulations through numerical models, requires a great quantity of high performance compute resources and big volumes of storage. For this reason, The (CR)2 dispose of two environments with different compute capacities of distributed processing and storage, available to carry out scientific research on atmospheric sciences. The first corresponds to their own resources, of lesser compute capacity, and the second to the resources provided by our laboratory.
Resources provided to the (CR2) by the NLHPC:
Resources provided to the (CR2) by the NLHPC:
- Levque: Each user has access to 64 cores (8 by node) and a 3 GBRam/Core with a RAM space quota of 80 GB.
- Leftraru: Each user has access to 120 cores, and the group has 5 TeraBytes available to temporary storage of results. Leftraru consists of 128 HP SL230 compute nodes plus four HP SL250, 2640 cores Intel Ivy Bridge E5-2660V2, 12 Xeon Phi 5110p, 5.4 TB RAM, 56Gbits/s FDR Infiniband connection , 274TB high performance storage offered by DDN (EXAScaler)
