https://www.qriscloud.org.au/index.php/services
QRISCloud will need more information of the researcher's computations before approval:
- The topic / field or research
- The software (applications, etc) to be run
- The dimensions of computation: how much memory, how many cores, MPI or not, how many jobs, walltimes, etcetera.
If lots of memory is needed, options are the large memory nodes or flashlite.
- Special compute "big memory" nodes will go to ~900GB (virtualized)
- Flashlite physical nodes go to 512GB (non-virtualized)
- Using vSMP, multiple Flashlite nodes can be stitched together to form a "supernode" with up to 8TB.
