Attention

GPU users: GPU nodes run EL9, while this documentation still reflects the EL7 software stack.

Run module avail on an EL9 login node, or within an interactive session on the relevant GPU type, to see the software available.

The documentation will be updated once all nodes have migrated to EL9.

The University of Sheffield has invested in excess of £3M providing a state of the art High Performance Compute cluster, Stanage, to meet the computational requirements of its researchers.

Stanage provides ~12,000 CPU compute cores, and 104 high performance GPUs (72 NVIDIA A100 & 32 NVIDIA H100 GPUs). Researchers will leverage this in-house resource to pursue advanced research in ML/AI, NLP, engineering applications and many other areas and advance the University’s status as a top flight research institution.

In addition, through the University of Sheffield researchers can access and get local Research Software Engineer support for the Bede ‘tier 2’ (regional) GPU-equipped HPC system. Bede has 32 GPU-equipped worker nodes that each have 4 V100 GPUs, and 7 GPU-equipped worker nodes, each with 1 GH200 GPU/CPU.
