LUNARC - NRC-Lund/multipark-aiml GitHub Wiki

LUNARC is the Lund University branch of the National Academic Infrastructure for Super­computing in Sweden (NAISS). It has a computer cluster called COSMOS, which has several NVIDIA A100 GPUs. All researchers at LU can apply to use LUNARC resources for free. However, the MultiPark AI/ML platform already has an active project that MultiPark researchers can join without writing their own application. You still have to jump through the following hoops, though:

  • To get access to the LUNARC resource COSMOS, you need a LUNARC account. Here is a guide made by the Lunarc folks for setting up an account, and it consists of four steps:
    1. Create a SUPR user account.
    2. Accept the user agreement.
    3. Request for membership in an existing NAISS project.
      • Here, you should specify project LU 2024/7-46, which is the MultiPark AI/ML project. I (Pär Halje) will be notified through the NAISS system, but you can also send me an email to let me know who you are and what you are up to.
    4. Apply for a LUNARC account.
      • In my experience, it can take a few days before they set up your account.
  • When you have your LUNARC account, you need to set up a password and install an app on your phone for two-factor authentication. Here are guides for that:
    1. Create a password
    2. Activating Pocket Pass authenticator
  • Now you are ready to log in. I recommend using the virtual desktop, but you can also log in with just a terminal.

Note that MultiPark has a shared folder /lunarc/nobackup/projects/multipark-aiml. This is the best place to store resources that are shared by several users. The total quota is 1 TB.
