Puhti

Puhti is CSC’s general purpose computing cluster for jobs ranging from one to few hundreds of CPU cores, or GPUs.

Puhti is currently used for running EC-Earth and CMIP6 experiments.

You can run Jupyter notebooks, RStudio in Puhti already, and it will be even easier when CSC lauches new web based interface to computing servers.

Mahti

Mahti is CSC’s computing cluster for large parallel jobs, ranging from hundred to tens of thousands of CPU cores. It also has a sizable GPU partition.

Mahti could well be used for running EC-Earth, too. If someone would like to try, let me know!

Allas

Allas is CSC’s server for projects’ life-time data storage and for data sharing. Data is accessible through https.

Allas is good platform for building data sharing services, similar to ESGF for CMIP6.

Pouta, Rahti, Kaivos

If you need to run a web service or otherwise need a separate (virtual) server, CSC offers

If you need a database accessible from CSC’s machines, we have Kaivos.

ESGF Data node

INAR and FMI participate in the CMIP6 experiment. The results are published via ESGF Data node esgf-data.csc.fi, a special service hosted by CSC.

Lumi

Lumi is the new supercomputer for european research hosted by CSC. It is mainly a huge GPU cluster, with sizable CPU partition and different storage servers for pre- and post-processing data.

Support

Both INAR and FMI have agreements with CSC for dedicated (on-site) support on top of the regular user support.
