Accelerators NVIDIA Enterprise GPUs & Tensor Cores
Interconnect & Storage InfiniBand Fabric with Direct WorkSpace Mounts
Scheduler & Environment SLURM Workload Manager & Lmod Modules

Key SuperTime Capabilities

Engineered for resource-intensive workloads requiring high-density memory, parallel execution, and expert technical support:

  • Parallel Job Execution: Harness hundreds of CPU cores simultaneously using MPI and OpenMP for climate modeling, molecular dynamics, and astrophysics simulations.
  • GPU-Accelerated Computing: Dedicated CUDA environments optimised for deep learning, AI training, computer vision, and accelerated genomics pipelines.
  • SLURM Workload Management: Efficient batch queuing, priority reservation channels, and automated script scheduling.
  • Direct Active Storage Pipeline: Native integration with Intersect WorkSpace for high-I/O raw data ingest and rapid result extraction.
