Important
Mp2 is now exclusive to researchers from the Université de Sherbrooke.
Mammouth-Mp2 is a heterogeneous and polyvalent cluster designed for ordinary computations; it is located at the Université de Sherbrooke.
Site-specific policies¶
- Each job must have a duration of at least one hour (at least five minutes for test jobs) and a user cannot have more than 1000 jobs (running and queued) at any given time. The maximum duration of a job is 168 hours (seven days).
- No GPUs.
Storage¶
HOME¶
Lustre filesystem, 79.6 TB of space in total
- This space is small and cannot be expanded; you should use your
projectspace for substantial storage needs. - 50 GB of space and 500K files per user.
- There is a daily backup.
SCRATCH¶
Lustre filesystem, 358.3 TB of space in total
- Large space for storing temporary files during computations.
- 20 TB of space and 1M files per user.
- No backup system in place.
PROJECT¶
Lustre filesystem, 716.6 TB of space in total
- This space is designed for sharing data among the members of a research group and for storing large amounts of data.
- 1 TB of space and 500K files per group.
- No backup system in place.
For transferring data by Globus, you should use the endpoint computecanada#mammouth, whereas tools like rsync and scp can simply use an ordinary login node.
High-performance interconnect¶
The Mellanox QDR (40 Gb/s) Infiniband network links together all of the cluster's nodes and is non-blocking for groups of 216 nodes and 5:1 for the rest of the cluster.
