Available Hardware
CERIT-SC operates regular clusters and a secure cluster (more information in upcoming Secure cluster section). Regular clusters include kuba-cluster (the biggest one) and kubh-cluster (HA cluster). 8 powerful kub-c nodes will join kuba-cluster in near future. Secure cluster includes kubas-cluster.

kub-c nodes (upcoming)
8 HPC kub-c nodes, each featuring NVIDIA H100 GPU accelerator, will join kuba-cluster.

Storage
Primary network storage consists of four head nodes each equipped with AMD EPYC 7302P, 256GB RAM, 2x 10Gbps NIC (failover only). It offers 500TB all-flash capacity of SSD drives only in RAID 6 equivalent configuration. Used filesystem is IBM Spectrum Scale that is exported via NFS version 3 to the kubernetes cluster.
Data Backup
Storage is not backed up to another location but file system snapshots are made on daily basis. It is possible to restore deleted/overwritten data 14 days to the past.
kubh-cluster
Kubh-cluster consists of 6 nodes that are disperesed in three different locations (2 nodes in locations University Campus Bohunice — UKB, University Computer Centre — CPS — at Komenskeho namesti, Faculty of Informatics at Botanicka) thus is a suitable option for HA setups (more information in upcoming HA setup section).
| 6x | Nodes | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU: | 2x AMD EPYC 7543 32-Core Processor (in total 64CPU per node) | |
| Memory: | 512GB | |
| Disk: | 20TB NVME: 7TB NVME SSD: | kub-h1 — kub-h2 kub-h3 — kub-h6 |
| Network: | 2x 10Gbps Ethernet: | All nodes |
Storage
Storage is provided only locally in each node.
Data Backup
Local storage is not backed up, it is up to the user to ensure backing-up.
Secure cluster
kubas-cluster
Kubas-cluster consists of 10 nodes and features 5x NVIDIA A40, 2x NVIDIA A100 (80GB variant), 4x NVIDIA P100, 2x NVIDIA H100 (NVL 94GB variant) and on-demand 4x NVIDIA A100 GPU accelerators. Nodes kub-cs1, kub-cs2 are physically located at different site than the rest of the cluster therefore it is possible to create HA setup in the secure cluster as well.

Storage
Primary network storage consists of two head nodes each equipped with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4216 CPU @ 2.10GHz, 192GB RAM, 1x 10Gbps NIC. It offers 1700TB capacity of rotational drives only in RAID 6 configuration. Used filesystem is IBM Spectrum Scale that is exported via NFS version 3 to the kubernetes cluster.
Data Backup
Storage is regularly backed up to the different storage in the different location.
