Using ISC³

Welcome to ISC³, the ISC Compute Center — the datacenter of the ISC bachelor programme, for students and teachers.

Looking for the research compute (Chacha / Disco)?

The HEI research infrastructure has its own section : CALC@HEI — access requests, SLURM, Apptainer and storage for research projects all live there.

What ISC³ offers

• Carnaval — the students sandbox cluster : 11 nodes, each with an NVIDIA GPU (A2 / Tesla T4), to experiment with cloud technologies, Kubernetes, SLURM and GPU computing on real machines. Its software stack is described in Carnaval software stack.
• A Proxmox VE production cluster hosting various internal services (VMs, LXC containers, backups, …).
