- Job scheduling: Slurm Workload Manager 22.05.2
- Module system: Lmod
- Deployment of (Bioinformatics) software: EasyBuild
Virtual Servers
- Jumphosts: corridor
- User Interfaces (UIs): fender
- Deploy Admin Interfaces (DAIs): fd-dai
- Sys Admin Interfaces (SAIs): fd-sai
- Compute Nodes: fd-vcompute01, fd-vcompute02, fd-vcompute03, fd-vcompute04, fd-vcompute05, fd-vcompute06, fd-vcompute07, fd-vcompute08, fd-vcompute09, fd-vcompute10, fd-vcompute11, fd-vcompute12
Shared Storage
A Logical File System (LFS) is usually a piece of a larger Physical File System (PFS) that serves a specific need for a specific user group. In case it as a network file system you could call it a share. In addition to LFS-ses for home dirs and the centrally deployed software and reference data the Fender HPC cluster has access to the following LFS-ses:
- Available prm LFS-ses: prm10
- Available tmp LFS-ses: tmp10
