"Mésocentre" of High Performance Computing of the University of Lille

Mésocentre de Lille
Mathematics and computer science Platform Numeric for human

Our platform is dedicated to the validation of research projects in digital simulation, modeling, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence. We provide high performance computing facilities as well as our expertise in the field of scientific computing to process large volumes of data from experiments or simulations. We are open to all academic collaborations in Hauts-de-France and propose services in line with our expertise.

Localisation

  • Provision of supercomputers with user support
  • Administration of supercomputers and storage systems
  • Pooling of computing resources at different levels: local, regional, national and European
  • Study of opportunities for and assistance in parallelization of HPC code
  • Parallel programming training

Examples of projects:

  • Three platforms (and their system & network administration) are available to users:
  1. Cluster computing: simulation, data processing, artificial intelligence, GPU
  2. Cloud computing: simulation, data processing, scientific portals hosting
  3. Storage plateform: scientific data storage
  • Technical support (daily) for users and training in the use of the three platforms
  • Technical expertise (code optimization, parallelization) and training in parallel programming (MPI and OpenMP)
  • Support for teams in calls for projects (eg ERC P. Cordier), recommendation of hardware and software configuration, quotes, etc.

We have three platforms:

  • Computing cluster: 5,880 cores, 35 TB of RAM and 630 TB of storage for a total power of 332 TFlops
  • Computing cloud: 2,444 physical cores, 19 TB of RAM and 215 TB of storage for a total power of 84 TFlops
  • Long-term storage: 2 Po of storage
