High Performance Computing and Emerging technologies Group

The High Performance Computing and Emerging technologies (HPCE) group was newly created and joined the LSM on January 1, 2019 in the frame of a reorganisation. It provides a range of HPC services for PSI scientists and also will engage in research activities on technologies (data analysis and machine learning technologies) used on these systems.

HPC infrastructure managed by HPCE

  • PSI public systems
    • Merlin5: the 5th generation of the local PSI HPC systems is being procured and installed in 2019. It will offer resources for PSI's mid-range HPC requirements. Merlin5 is mostly composed of CPU based nodes. It integrates a number of GPU resources that are dedicated to the research of the BIO division.
    • PSI share of the CSCS Piz Daint supercomputer: PSI users have access to a share of Piz Daint. Use of the PSI share is subject to a PSI internal proposal and evaluation by the PSI research commission (FOKO).
  • dedicated special purpose systems
    • LHC CMS/Tier-3: A cluster integrated into the LHC Grid focusing on end-user analysis of LHC data. It is operated and financed as a collaboration of the CMS groups of PSI, ETHZ, and UniZ. Operated for the High Energy Physics group.
    • MEG data analysis cluster: A cluster tightly coupled to Merlin5 and dedicated to the analysis of data from the MEG experiment. Operated for the Muon Physics group.
