About the cluster
Orthus cluster is small experimental and development cluster located at the Centre for Informatics and Computing and the Division of Electronics at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia. The cluster is acquired via two National Science Foundation projects:
- HRZZ-UIP-2020-02-4559 “Scalable high-performance algorithms for future heterogeneous distributed computer systems”
- HRZZ-UIP-2020-02-1623 “Exploring Interactions Between Regulatory Variants in Human Disease Context”
Technical details
The Orthus cluster currently consists of a login node, one compute node and a storage node. Both the login and compute nodes run the Rocky Linux 9 as the OS, have Slurm for resource management and job scheduling and FreeIPA for identity management / single sign-on. Additionally much of the HPC functionality is provided by the OpenHPC project, specifically using this version of the OpenHPC installation guide.
For information of software available on the cluster see the applications and software section section and for running batch jobs see the Job scheduling section of this documentation.
