# HPC Resources
The architecture specifically tailored to data-intensive computing, Big Data
analytics, and artificial intelligence methods with extensive capabilities
for performance monitoring provides ideal conditions to achieve the ambitious
research goals of the users and the ZIH.
## Overview
From the users' pespective, there are seperate clusters, all of them with their subdomains:
| Name | Description | Year| DNS |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
**Barnard**
| CPU cluster |2023| n[1001-1630].barnard.hpc.tu-dresden.de |
|
**Romeo**
| CPU cluster |2020|i[8001-8190].romeo.hpc.tu-dresden.de |
|
**Alpha Centauri**
| GPU cluster |2021|i[8001-8037].alpha.hpc.tu-dresden.de |
|
**Julia**
| single SMP system |2021|smp8.julia.hpc.tu-dresden.de |
|
**Power**
| IBM Power/GPU system |2018|ml[1-29].power9.hpc.tu-dresden.de |
They run with their own Slurm batch system. Job submission is possible only from
their respective login nodes.
All clusters have access to these shared parallel file systems:
| File system | Usable directory | Type | Capacity | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Home |
`/home`
| Lustre | quota per user: 20 GB | permanant user data |
| Project |
`/projects`
| Lustre | quota per project | permanant project data |
| Scratch for large data / streaming |
`/data/horse`
| Lustre | 20 PB | h
| Scratch for random access |
`/data/rabbit`
| Lustre | 2 PB |
These mount points are planned (September 2023):
| Scratch for random access |
`/data/weasel`
| WEKA | 232 TB |
| Scratch for random access |
`/data/squirrel`
| BeeGFS | xxx TB |
## Barnard - Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs

HPC resources in ZIH systems comprise the
*High Performance Computing and Storage Complex*
and its
extension
*High Performance Computing – Data Analytics*
. In total it offers scientists
about 60,000 CPU cores and a peak performance of more than 1.5 quadrillion floating point
operations per second. The architecture specifically tailored to data-intensive computing, Big Data
analytics, and artificial intelligence methods with extensive capabilities for energy measurement
and performance monitoring provides ideal conditions to achieve the ambitious research goals of the
users and the ZIH.
