One of the clusters at the University is the CCP Cluster

This HPC cluster is a collection of many separate servers (computers), called nodes, which are connected via a fast interconnect.

There may be different types of nodes for different types of tasks. The HPC cluster listed on this wiki has

a headnode or login node, where users log in

  • regular compute nodes (where computations are running)

This cluster is based on the Slurm scheduler running on Ubuntu.

The nodes are connected by InfiniBand and the cluster is located in “het SeinHuis”.

Login Nodes

You can connect to the headnode : ccphead.ewi.utwente.nl

We now use the new Slurm scheduler instead of searching for a free node and run our calculations
for info see Slurm and the Slurm quickstart
