Marvin

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Marvin is the large tier-3 HPC cluster of the University of Bonn, run by the University Computing Centre (HRZ) and in operation since March 2024. It is listed on the list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers and is open to (HPC-experienced) scientists of the University, including the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and their external project partners.

GPU partitions

SGPU — 32 nodes, each with 4 × NVIDIA A100 80GB (NVLink), 2 × AMD EPYC “Milan” 64-core, 1 TB RAM: for highly scalable GPU jobs.
MLGPU — 24 nodes, each with 8 × NVIDIA A40 48GB, 2 × AMD EPYC “Milan” 64-core, 512 GB RAM: for machine learning.

CPU and storage — 192 standard, 24 large-memory and 5 very-large-memory nodes (Intel Xeon “Sapphire Rapids”), 5.6 PB Lustre storage and an InfiniBand NDR 200 Gb/s network.

Access requires a Uni-ID and an application via the , where full technical details are listed.

Bender

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Bender is a small GPU cluster installed by the University Computing Centre (HRZ) in 2022. It is mainly intended for teaching, and research projects are also given access when resources allow.

A100 nodes — 2 nodes, each with 8 × NVIDIA A100 80GB and 2 × AMD EPYC 7713 64-core.
A40 nodes — 4 nodes, each with 4 × NVIDIA A40 48GB.
Rocky Linux, Slurm batch system, CUDA; 200 Gb/s InfiniBand.

Access requires a Uni-ID; students apply with a supervisor. Apply and see the full specification on the .

Lab GPU Server

Thu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The lab’s own GPU server at the University Hospital Bonn, run together with UKB-IT. Its configuration is similar to the A100 nodes of the University’s and clusters.

GPUs — 8 × NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe (640 GB GPU memory in total), in one node.
CPUs — 2 × AMD EPYC 7643, 48 cores each.
Network — InfiniBand 200 Gb/s.
Software — Linux, Slurm batch system, CUDA.

Access is restricted to members of the Albarqouni Lab with a UKB email account (@ukbonn.de) and an affiliation to our lab. To request an account, use Apply for access above and write from your UKB email address.
