DynFluid computing resources

The laboratory has computing facilities for teaching, research, data storage and services.

1. Teaching computers

The laboratory has 12 machines available for teaching and for the Master's students and interns hosted at DynFluid. Each has a six-core Intel i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB disk. User logins and accounts are managed by a central login server.

2. Compute workstations

For research needing medium-scale scientific computing, the laboratory provides 7 compute workstations, each with 52 Intel Xeon cores, 380 GB of RAM and 8 TB of storage. They are hosted in a server room of the IT department (DSI) on the ENSAM Paris campus. In addition, a machine for visualisation and memory-intensive computations is available to DynFluid members in one of the laboratory's rooms, with 20 Intel Xeon cores, 1.5 TB of RAM and 2 TB of storage. User logins and accounts are managed by a central login server.

3. Storage servers

Laboratory members also have access to a server with 110 TB of usable storage, plus 218 TB of usable space for databases of simulations run at DynFluid.

4. Compute servers

DynFluid has a compute server with 2 NVIDIA A100 GPUs for scientific computing and for porting codes to GPGPU parallel programming.
