High Performance Computing (HPC) at OSU Pythéas

  • 2 mins read

Specific online documentation is available here if you would like information about accessing the OSU’s computing resources.

Definition of scientific computing and modelling within the SIP

The SIP offers the possibility to implement mathematical methods to model certain physical processes (atmosphere, ocean, biosphere/atmosphere interface, continental surface) and computer techniques to optimise programming and data access for scientific projects within the OSU.

Skills made available to the OSU

  • Atmospheric and oceanographic modelling available to the OSU scientific community. Capacity to simulate certain physical processes such as marine aerosols, continent/atmosphere interfaces, biosphere/atmosphere interface, ocean/atmosphere interface and forcing, pollution and passive tracers, trajectory of celestial bodies, radiation….
  • Mathematical analysis and high performance computing methods to meet a research need and exploit data from experiments or observations (e.g. SUNMEX).
  • Development of specific codes for research projects or optimisation of existing codes.
  • Advice on the choice of software and mathematical methods to be used according to the problem to be addressed and the computing architecture used.
  • Installation of scientific computing tools and software on the computing cluster.
  • Life cycle management of calculation data (input and output).
  • Ensure the documentation, maintenance and publication of the methods and tools developed (http://calcul.osupytheas.fr).
  • Support for users in the use of the computing cluster.
  • Administration of the OSU computing cluster with the SIP system centre.
  • User training for knowledge and skills transfer.

If you wish to use the OSU cluster we invite you to visit https://calcul.osupytheas.fr.

Request for calculation support from the SIP

  • Intended audience: All staff attached to the OSU who need support in scientific computing.
  • The request for support should be sent to the SIP either by e-mail sip@osupytheas.fr or by ticket https://assistance.osupytheas.fr.
  • If possible, consider including the SIP in the project development phase to facilitate our interventions.
