| This site replaces the former Compute Canada documentation site, and is now being managed by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. Ce site remplace l'ancien site de documentation de Calcul Canada et est maintenant géré par l'Alliance de recherche numérique du Canada. |
| Availability: February 2012 - April 1, 2020 |
| Login Node: mp2.calculcanada.ca |
| Globus Endpoint: computecanada#mammouth |
| Data Transfer Node (rsync, scp, sftp,...) : mp2.calculcanada.ca |
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 |
|
| SCRATCH Lustre filesystem 358.3 TB of space in total |
|
| PROJECT Lustre filesystem 716.6 TB of space in total |
|
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.
