titleWork in Progress for Phase-2 Documentation

The content of this section is currently being updated to include material relevant for Phase-2 of Setonix and the use of GPUs.
On the other hand, all the existing material related to Phase-1 and the use of CPU compute nodes can be considered safe, valid and up-to-date.

Excerpt

The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre provides access to a number of different supercomputing systems for the Australian research and industry communities, as well as international collaborators. This page provides details of these resources, including supercomputing systems and high-performance filesystems.

...

The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre operates several supercomputing systems, which physically reside at the Pawsey and are closely integrated with its other infrastructure.

Other systems

The following systems are in the process of being decommissioned and new users won't be able to access them.

All of these systems physically reside at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and are closely integrated with other Pawsey infrastructure.


Filesystems

There are a number of filesystems mounted by Pawsey supercomputers:

titleMigration: Filesystems

While Pawsey is migrating from old systems to the new one, Setonix, the following points stand true:

  • The /group filesystem is being decommissioned. It is a mid-tier filesystem intended for actively used files needed for the length of a project. This will be available on Topaz until its decommission, currently on Magnus in read-only mode, and on the data mover nodes of Setonix. All projects should store data on Acacia when using Setonix.
  • Setonix will mount a different /home  and /scratch filesystem filesystem than Garrawarla and Topaz. Setonix will have the legacy /home  mounted as /oldhome and /group  as /oldgroup, on the data mover nodes, during migration. Eventually, Topaz will be decommissioned. , with the same mount point but different corresponding filesystems.
