Supercomputing
The supercomputing service offers the ability to perform high-performance intensive computing using the infrastructure available on the Teide supercomputer, from simulations of the evolution of the Universe to the design of more efficient industrial parts.
It is available to university research teams, national and international research centers, or companies that need to use these types of systems in their research, development, or innovation projects.
The use of the SLURM workload manager enables the optimisation of the use of available resources among all users, while adhering to quality of service policies, optimising the system’s energy consumption, and allowing for subsequent infrastructure usage reports.
Service requests are made using a form (teidehpc.iter.es/es/formulario-de-servicio). Upon receipt of the form, ITER will issue a binding offer for the total services requested. This offer will have a maximum validity period of one month. Following acceptance of the offer by the client, ITER will proceed to allocate a timeframe for the execution of the requested work, which will be communicated to the client and mutually agreed upon.
Prior to formalising acceptance of the offer by the client, the client will have the right to conduct tests on the infrastructure to verify its suitability for their needs. For these tests, the minimum necessary infrastructure with the requested configuration will be made available to the client to verify its adaptation to the requirements of the applications to be executed. This configuration will be available for 7 working days, and this duration may be extended if the progress of the tests so warrants. Under no circumstances may the trial period be used to provide service to a third party.
The client may request a capacity reservation, such that these resources are reserved for a period agreed upon by the parties. If this option is desired, it should be indicated in the ‘Observations’ section of the service request form, and it will be taken into account when formulating the offer.
For further information about the service, pricing, etc., please consult the project website.
Cloud computing
Cloud computing The cloud computing service offers the ability to isolate the computing environment to utilise the infrastructure available on the Teide supercomputer through the use of virtualization.
It is available to university research teams, national and international research centers, or companies that need to use these types of systems in their research, development, or innovation projects.
Users will be able to access the infrastructure using a web portal which they can use to manage their environment, with the ability to access, create, delete, or modify the characteristics of their virtual machine, network, and storage environment.
Billing will be based on resource utilisation, taking into account the number of cores or nodes used, memory, storage, networks, or specific configurations over a defined period. In addition, capacity reservation can be requested, such that these capacities are available for use during a period agreed upon by the parties.
The TeideHPC cloud environment is implemented with OpenNebula software, which enables the provision of private, public, or hybrid cloud services.
