HPC Computing facilities

These servers are dedicated to the tools used by astrophysicists for data processing and numerical simulation.

Through a queue management system, the cluster allows to launch processes on many processors by optimizing the use of all the computation nodes.

It is composed of two calculation queues:
– A queue dedicated to massively parallel computations
– A queue dedicated to single-core batch computations or limited to a server

The Redmine farm allows to quickly implement a knowledge exchange system for the LAM teams and projects. (https://projects.lam.fr/)

Using these tools, researchers and engineers have access to a software version management system, bug tracking and enhancements usable via web interfaces.
– Redmine project management server https://projects.lam.fr
– Application development management server such as gitlab http://gitlab.lam.fr
– Continuous compilation and code analysis server

By duplicating servers and virtualizing applications to allow high fault tolerance, this platform allows for the continuous availability of scientific data.

With a server virtualization system and an application virtualization system, we can set up virtual machines for the development and provision of data and tools in a way that is transparent to the laboratory’s development and users.
