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​

  • Calypso — the students sandbox cluster : 15 worker 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 Calypso software stack.
  • A Proxmox VE production cluster hosting various internal services (VMs, LXC containers, backups, …).

Getting access​

Access to ISC³ is managed by the ISC staff (Prof. Dr. Pierre-André Mudry). Contact them with:

  • Username : firstname.lastname (generally the part in front of your @hevs.ch email address)
  • SSH public key — access is key-based, there are no passwords
  • The course or project your work belongs to

You will receive a Wireguard VPN configuration file — see Connecting for how to use it.
