Introduction

Welcome to the documentation site of the ImPhys HPC.

slow documentation…

This documentation is not known for very regular updates and might miss updates on the latest installations or contain some outdated information. We promise to better our lives and pick up the speed on updating these documents.

The ImPhys HPC consists of two standalone Linux servers: jupiter-imphys.tnw.tudelft.nl and saturn-imphys.tnw.tudelft.nl. Access is provided via SSH through the bastion server linux-bastion-ex.tudelft.nl (student-linux.tudelft.nl for students). Check the quickstart for more information.

Your home directory /home/<netid> has a quota of 250GB (previously 200GB). If you need more storage please contact Ronald.

For hardware specifications please see this page.

Information about available storages is available here.

Also information about file transport is available.

The latest versions of gcc, g++, gfortran, mpich, python3 and various development tools (such as cmake, git, etc.) are currently available.

Additional packages can be accessed using the module command. To see available modules, use module avail, and to load a module, use module load <package> (e.g. module load matlab/R2024). The package can now be used by typing its name (e.g. matlab -nodisplay)

Quickstart

Follow the instructions Configuring SSH with a Configuration File to simplify SSH connections to the servers.
