LSC Systems
LSC systems
The following is a list of all available machines within the LSC network. It is updated regularly. If you cannot reach a machine on this list, and there is no obvious reason why it should not be, then please let a system admin. know.
In order to connect to one of these machines, use ssh
machine.lsc.phy.private.cam.ac.uk
If you need to display graphics from the far machine on your local computer, then see Remote Working.
Note that the .lsc.phy.private.cam.ac.uk can be omitted if you are already on a CSC/LSC desktop.
Data partitions
Data partitions are available under /data/machine or /data/machine-2. See User Accounts for more information.
Relative CPU performance
Due to the wide range of CPUs in the CSC network, it is hard to compare them. This CPU performance figure was calculated by running a simple CFD code on all cores/processors of each machine, i.e. using the full compute power of each machine. They have then been scaled, and higher numbers are better. This is very code-dependent, however, so results for your code will be different.
Processor Rank
Processor rank corresponds to how many (Intel) features exist
on the processor. If you compile with -march=native on one machine, it will (probably)
not run on one with a lower rank. For example, code compiled for hydra04 (with rank 9) will not run on hera
(with rank 6). You can avoid this by not using the -march=native option, at the (usually slight) cost of performance.
NVIDIA Cards
All NVIDIA cards for each machine are listed, along with their compute capabaility in brackets. For more detailed information,
run /lsc/opt/cuda-11.7/extras/demo_suite/deviceQuery from the NVIDIA SDK, or look up the card specs online.
The following table is sortable; just click on the column heading.
