About images and flavors
GPU images
ubuntu24-cuda-psmn, debian13-cuda-psmn and ubuntu24-desktop-imaging-psmn images require gpu.l4.* flavor.
Currently, the infrastructure is equipped with 4 GPUs only. It means that only 4 VMs with GPU can run simultaneously, all projects combined. If you try to deploy a VM with the gpu.l4.16c64g flavor when all GPUs are busy, you will get an error No valid host was found.
Jupyter images
You can chose any of the flavors to run jupyter-psmn image. See Connect to Jupyter VMs to connect to the Jupyterlab interface.
Bigmem / Manycores flavors
bigmem-*flavors may be unavailable if too many VMs are deployed. The infrastructure currently supports a total of 4TB RAM, it means that if 2 VMs with 2TB are deployed, the flavor will be unavailable for other VMs (you will get an errorNo valid host was found).manycores.255c496gflavor may be unavailable if too many VMs are deployed. Only 2 VMs with 255 cores can run simultaneously, all projects combined. If you try to deploy a VM with themanycores.255c496gflavor , you will get an errorNo valid host was found.
About data
on
*-baseVMs, only local data is available.on
*-psmnVMs, your PSMN /home is mounted and so are your /Xnfs directories. A local working directory is available under /localdata.
Attention
When you destroy a VM, ALL local data is LOST.
Hint
All images provide a bunch of common packages, including python and docker. ubuntu24-desktop-imaging-* images come with pre-installed bio-imaging software, such as Fiji, Omero Insight, MorphoGraphX and more. You can find them in the main menu, in the Bioimaging category.
Hint
If you need custom image or flavor you can submit a demand with this form
