DeiC Throughput HPC
DeiC Throughput HPC has the ability to handle large amounts of data and focus on high security.
The term DeiC Throughput HPC covers three different HPC facilities: Computerome at DTU, GenomeDK at AU and Sophia at DTU.
This type of facility typically has a large number of cores that can be a mix between cost-effective and computationally efficient units. DeiC Throughput HPC also has the ability to handle large amounts of data and focus on high security. For computations in health sciences, engineering simulations, chemistry, physics and bioinformatics in a broad sense, there will often be a requirement for HPC systems with a focus on high throughput performance.
The facility is operated by a consortium consisting of AU, DTU and KU. The computing resources are provided by Computerome 2, jointly owned by DTU and KU, by GenomeDK at Aarhus University, and by Sophia, operated by DTU.
Who can use DeiC Throughput HPC?
A national collaboration between the universities and DeiC ensures that all researchers at Danish universities have access to a digital research infrastructure. DeiC coordinates the use of a number of national supercomputers that are available to Danish researchers across Danish universities. The supercomputers are operated and developed by the universities, which make computing time available to researchers regardless of institutional affiliation.
