Mimir
Introduction
The Mimir cluster consists of 10 compute-nodes divided into two partitions. The partitions are mimir and himem-mimir, where the mimir partition consits of in total 9 compute nodes and the himem-mimir partition only 1. The Mimir cluster is generally used for research related to the life sciences that don't require a lot of compute-power but instead require a lot of RAM usage . If that matches your requirements you can send a formal appplication to help@hi.is
More information on the formal application can be found in the Etiquette chapter.
The himem-mimir stands for HIgh MEMory mimir partition. This partition provides a compute node that can compute jobs that require high memory usage.
Hardware Specification
In total the the Mimir partition has 256 cores and 960 GB of Memory available 4 x standard compute nodes and 1 x gpu node:
| Count | Name | Cores/Node | Memory/Node (Gib) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | mimir | 64 (2x32) | 256 (252) | Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8358 |
| 1 | mimir-himem | 64 (2x32) | 2048 (2044) | Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8358 |
More information can be found in the specs chapter and the partitions chapter
