ISC³ - Compute center

/ˌaɪ.ɛs.ˈsiː ˈkjuːb/

Welcome to the documentation site of ISC³, the compute center of the ISC bachelor program. The site is organized in three sections :

Using ISC³

For end users : requesting access, connecting, submitting jobs, storage and the FAQ.

Infrastructure

The machines themselves : hardware, software configuration and hosted services.

Operations

How the datacenter is run : processes, admin tooling and inventory.

This site also hosts — for now — the documentation of CALC@HEI, the HEI research computing infrastructure (Chacha and Disco). It is a distinct infrastructure with its own governance in the making, kept clearly separated so it can move to its own site :

CALC@HEI

The research compute nodes : access, SLURM, Apptainer, storage and their operations.

The tools for students and teachers — document templates, software toolchains, proctoring solutions — live on the ISC Hub.

Contributing

Your contributions are more than welcome and do not hesitate to populate the site. Content is written in Markdown. Edit the files in docs/ directly on GitHub (or clone the repository) — the site rebuilds automatically on every push.

Accessing the site

Do not hesitate to contact the site admin (Pierre-André) if you require an editor access or access to restricted areas of the site.
