HPC Computing Resource

The High Performance Computing environment consists of high-end systems used for executing complex number crunching applications for research . Griffith users have access to the following systems:

Griffith has partnered with QCIF which operates the Awoonga HTC cluster (1000 cores). Griffith users can request an account on Awoonga cluster using this link to create an account on the awoonga cluster. Please click the link "Register to use Awoonga”. The number of cores available to a single job is limited to 24 on one node. It is not possible to create an MPI job using multiple nodes. Hence all mpi jobs should be limited to 24 cores on a single node. It is a Symmetric Multi Processing (SMP) system having a maximum of 24 cores per node and sharing the same memory and is managed by one operating system. The home directory and software directory is shared across all nodes.

This cluster is being deprecated. However, if you need to use licensed software that is not available on awoonga and /QRIScloud (e.g gaussian, comsol, etc) or need to run mpi jobs spanning multiple nodes, you may request an account on this cluster. In general, if you have any support related issues on this cluster, you may open a ticket by following this link.
