[NLPL Task Force (A)] trial usage on DaaS

[Bjørn Lindi]

Hi Gurvinder,
I think Monday/Tuesday is a bit too early for having identified any suspects. The NLPL infrastructure team will probably discuss this tomorrow, and we can get back to you ( I am anyway unavailable Monday and Tuesday).

You can delete the ‘nlpr’ project space and make a new one ‘nlpl’. There is nothing of value in the ‘nlpr’-space.

Best Regards
Bjørn

DaaS is a research cluster with 8 GPUs in it (7 Titan X/Xp and 1 P5000) whereas NIRD service platform is a production cluster. Currently NIRD SP lacks GPUs but GPUs (Volta V100) have been ordered and will be available on platform in a month or two. From end user perspective both platform provide a user friendly App Store. So your team can start using DaaS and later on can get access to Volta GPUs on NIRD SP.

It already has Tensorflow, Pytorch, Keras and few other machine learning framework in it. Documentation is located here https://appstore.ioudaas.no/docs/ <https://appstore.ioudaas.no/docs/> and if your team members would like to have the kubectl level access not just appstore then use docs here https://docs.ioudaas.no/access/ <https://docs.ioudaas.no/access/> Access is controlled using Dataporten, so any user from Norwegian higher education community should be OK also most users from education community in Europe.

I think, it would be good to have a short (30-60 mins) video meeting next week (Monday anytime between 1000-1200 or Tuesday before lunch time) where I can walk you and your team through the various things to get started and get to know more about your use case as well.
