Calcul Quebec (and compute Canada) is a group of computing clusters that is available for researchers in Quebec (Canada). It gives access to powerfull machines that can compute serial and parallel tasks faster than the average comsumer's computer.
Click here for our quick tutorial on how to parallelize your workflow. Here you will find a few tutorials that will teach you the basics to properly make use of the clusters.
First you will have to create a compute canada and calcul quebec account. Then, follow one of the tutorials.
Refer to the following tables to choose the cluster you want to use:
| Small amounts (≤ 24 GB per node) | Medium amounts | Large amounts (≥ 96 GB per node) |
|---|---|---|
| Briarée (nodes with 24 GB) | Briarée (nodes with 48 GB) | Briarée (nodes with 96 GB) |
| Colosse (nodes with 24 GB) | Colosse (nodes with 48 GB) | Guillimin (ScaleMP node, 1 TB) |
| Guillimin (nodes with 24 GB) | Guillimin (nodes with 48 or 72 GB) | Mp2 (large memory nodes, 256 or 512 GB) |
| Mp2 |
| Peu de communications entre les cœurs | Beaucoup de communications |
|---|---|
| Guillimin (sw queue) | Briarée |
| Mp2 (qwork queue) | Colosse |
| Guillimin (hb and lm queues) | |
| Mp2 (qfbb queue) |
