Introduction to Nirin

The Nirin cloud comprises of a mix of Intel Broadwell and Sandy Bridge processors and NVIDIA K80 GPUs. NCI has repurposed hardware from the previous Raijin supercomputer to provide powerful, new capabilities that enable interactive data analysis and data preparation processes.

Nirin integrates with the Gadi supercomputer and the global filesystems, and supports those aspects of research computing more suited for a rapid-response environment. This distribution of workloads allows for the most productive uses of NCI’s varied infrastructure platforms.
