Computing cluster¶
UTHPC hosts a High Performance Computing cluster called Rocket
- a Linux-based computing cluster with the Slurm queue system.
- To obtain access, please see Requesting an Account
- For a quick-start guide to the cluster, please refer to UTHPC Quick Start
Cloud computing through minu.etais.ee¶
UTHPC provides a cloud-computing service based on the OpenStack platform, where anyone can request virtual hardware.
The main access portal is minuETAIS. Authentication is handled by MyAccessID, which brokers identity information from various different providers.
Note
If you wish to use multiple different IdP-s for the same account (for example University of Tartu SSO and TARA), you will have to link those accounts in MyAccessID's Profile Management interface.
For ETAIS self-service related guides, please refer to ETAIS Self-Service Guide .
To obtain information about how to host applications, install software or any other related information about the cloud, please refer to Cloud Quick Start.
In some very well justified cases, it's also possible to obtain direct access to the OpenStack backend. This is restricted to experienced users affiliated with the University of Tartu. For more info, please contact support@hpc.ut.ee.
