About images and flavors

ubuntu24-desktop-imaging-* and ubuntu-cuda-* images require gpu.l4.16c64g flavor.

Currently, the infrastructure is equipped with 3 GPUs only. It means that only 3 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.

About data

  • on *-base VMs, only local data is available.

  • on *-psmn VMs, 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.
