Computing

We provide the MRC WIMM with a high performance computing platform, offering researchers efficient ways to store, analyse, collaborate and publish large data sets. In addition, expert staff install complex bioinformatics packages that can be used by all researchers and provide help and advice in their usage.

Our Computing infrastructure

The CCB cluster is a Linux CentOS 7 based environment which uses the open-source Slurm management system to schedule jobs:

	Nodes	Cores each	RAM each	Cores total	RAM total
Batch nodes	24	24	256GB	576	6TB
Large nodes	2	40	1TB	80	2TB

In addition, the cluster contains 4 x NVIDIA Titan RTX cards for parallel and multi-core tasks such as deep learning.

This core high-throughput analysis cluster is accessed via two login nodes and is surrounded by supporting infrastructure including a range of web and application servers, virtual machine hosting, and backup storage.
