Scientific Applications in the domain of High Performance Computing (HPC) usually have massive requirements when it comes to computing resources like CPU, memory, GPU, I/O throughputs and fast interconnects. The massive requirements are why most of the workloads are traditionally run in a bare-metal setup, directly on physical servers, which Read more
Storage plays an important role for data to be stored reliably and processed swiftly in a HPC environment. HPC is designed to handle and analyse intensive and complex computational tasks, such as weather forecasting, molecular modelling and machine learning[1]. Therefore, the storage within a HPC environment is not simply about Read more
It has been nearly 2 years since we migrated our infrastructure to PTM Data Centre 2, and there was almost no service disruption since then. On 2 August 2023, we had our first major service blackout 2 years after migration. Although we were able to resolve most of the previous Read more
Dear all DICC Users, We would like to announce that our services are now back up and running. Users should be able to access all the services normally now. If you are having issues trying to access certain services, please let us know through the service desk. We will be Read more
Greetings HPC Users, In order to prepare for integration of new HPC infrastructure, we are pleased to inform you that the current Open OnDemand portal will be migrated. New OpenOnDemand portal is now available at https://ood.dicc.um.edu.my/. We will shutdown the current running OpenOnDemand portal at https://umhpc.dicc.um.edu.my in Jun 2023. Please Read more
A paradigm shift in scientific discovery A few weeks before Jim Gray lost in his solo sail trip to Farallon Island near San Francisco in January 2007, this great American computer scientist and the 1998 Turing award winner had envisioned a paradigm shift in the practise of science as a Read more
Greeting HPC Users, The result for the HPC tests is now available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H2ByiZTEw9b69q-4bndeuJE6JsE9LOO5FRTtVAtMYI4/edit?usp=sharing. Please note that one must pass all the tests in order to remove account limit. Retake for the tests will be available starting next week on 8 May 2023. Please note that retake is only possible again one Read more
Greeting HPC Users, We would like to remind again, all users that wish to gain and keep their full access to all the HPC resources should complete the new set of HPC tests by the end of April. All users with full access that did not complete or failed to Read more
Greetings HPC Users, In order to better protect the benefits of being a full HPC account owner, we have decided to make the following changes to all the limited accounts: These changes aim to minimise the impact of new users with limited accounts on the HPC resources, so that the Read more
Greetings HPC Users, This is a gentle reminder to remind that all HPC users are to complete the HPC tests by the end of April 2023 in order to remove the account limitation. The results will be reviewed and released next month. The links to the new tests can be Read more
