Kuma Cluster Full Production & Pricing – Nov 1st
We are excited to announce the successful completion of the beta testing phase for the Kuma GPU cluster, and we are preparing to enter full production starting from November 1st, 2024. Your participation in the beta phase has been invaluable, with a total of approximately 450,000 GPU hours of calculation jobs executed. This extensive testing allowed us to identify and resolve various hardware and software issues, ensuring that Kuma is largely ready for production.
Kuma Beta Opening
After a successful restricted beta with more than 80'000 jobs submitted, we are pleased to announce that Kuma, the new GPU-based cluster, is available for testing starting now!
This marks an important milestone as we transition from the Izar cluster, which will soon be reassigned to educational purposes, to the much more powerful Kuma cluster.
You can now connect to the login node at kuma.hpc.epfl.ch to begin testing your codes.
