National facilities
The universities and DeiC collaborate on the establishment and operation of the national HPC landscape to ensure the necessary and sufficient computing power for Danish research now and in the future. The universities handle operations and development, while DeiC has a coordinating role.
On this page you can get an overview of national HPC facilities that you as a Danish researcher can access through DeiC. You can read more about each facility in DeiC's service overview and see an overview of current calls for computing power under Grants & Funding.
On the page "international HPC" you can read more about the European EuroHPC collaboration, which gives Danish researchers and other actors the opportunity to apply for access to European HPC facilities.
DeiC Interactive HPC
In DeiC Interactive HPC, the focus is on interactive calculation resources and easy access for new users. In a national context, this type is a new type of facility that is aimed at users who do not have extensive experience with calculations on large facilities. Typically, when the individual researcher's own computer is not sufficient due to lack of computing power, storage or memory.
Experienced users can use this type of system to work with R statistics, but also for prototyping and idea development, just as it could be students' first encounter with HPC systems. It is expected that this type of HPC will help increase the use of HPC in research for a number of new users.
The facility is operated by a consortium consisting of SDU, AAU and AU. The eScience Center at SDU and CLAAUDIA at AAU provide the resources, while AU handles the support and helps new users get started.
DeiC Throughput HPC
This type of system typically has a large number of cores that can be a mix between cost-effective and computationally efficient units. DeiC Throughput HPC, also previously known as Type 2, also has the ability to handle large amounts of data and a focus on high security. Computations in health sciences, technical simulations, chemistry, physics and bioinformatics in a broad sense will often require 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.
LUMI Capability HPC
LUMI is the European pre-exascale supercomputer LUMI. LUMI stands for Large Unified Modern Infrastructure and is located in CSC's data center in Kajaani, Finland.
DeiC coordinates the Danish participation in EuroHPC and Danish researchers' access to compute on LUMI. Behind LUMI is a consortium of 8 countries. The consortium countries in LUMI are Finland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland.
LUMI is funded 50% by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and 50% by the consortium countries. Denmark can spend 3% of the resources on LUMI.
