High Performance Computer Cluster

The IBERS High Performance Computer Cluster (HPC) consists of 544 CPU cores and 4TB RAM spread across 13 computer nodes. There is 43TB storage capacity with an additional 11TB of fast access disk, which provides working space for over 100 users. The IBERS cloud (a collection of stand-alone high-performance computers dedicated to deploy 'on demand' servers and/or services) underpins the web-based services for bioinformatics (e.g., Galaxy) as well as various services for other researchers and groups. The IBERS cloud is composed of 55TB of dedicated storage, 104 cores and 1TB of memory RAM. There is also a 1.2Pb of disk space available for long-term storage connected both to the HPC and IBERS Cloud. Storage repositories are backed-up on a weekly basis.
