Compute Resources

This page lists the compute resources available to PEARG lab members.

Cloud Servers

These clusters are hosted on the Nectar cloud. Email jchung@unimelb.edu.au to request an account.

When using these servers you should follow the best practices described in these documents.

Each server has 10 - 30 TB of storage space which is not backed up. It is your own responsibility to have backups of your important data.

Mosquito Server (mozzie)

IP address: 115.146.86.169

The mozzie server is currently a 32 core cluster comprised of one node. It has 30 cores available for use via SLURM and 128 GB of RAM.

Genetic Rescue Server (rescue)

IP address: 115.146.86.14

The rescue server is currently a 16 core cluster comprised of one node. It has 15 cores available for use and 64 GB of RAM.

Spartan

Spartan is The University of Melbourne HPC system managed by Research Platform Services.

To get started with Spartan, you will need to request a Spartan account using your University of Melbourne email and apply for a new project or join an existing project.

Nectar cloud

If you want to manage your own VM, you can apply for resources with the Nectar Research Cloud. Unless you’re comfortable being your own sysadmin, we recommend using the PEARG servers or Spartan before this option.
