HPC spaces

HPC integration

Need more computing power for your workloads? On Nuvolos, you can run interactive HPC workloads by scaling up your application size. If the sizes included in your plan aren't sufficient, consider using credit-based sizes.

To use interactive HPC features, space administrators need to enable them first. Once enabled, here's what you can do:

In research spaces:

• Space administrators and instance editors can change application sizes

• Credit costs are charged to the resource pool associated with the space

In teaching spaces:

• Space administrators can scale up applications in the Master instance anytime

• Administrators can define scheduled startup with GPU for students

• Credit costs are charged to the resource pool associated with the space

The resource mapping section shows that credit spending (Credit-based services) in this space is attributed to the Alpharuncher - Demonstration resource pool.

Enable credit-based application sizes

To enable HPC features in your space:

Navigate to [Course/Project/Dataset] Settings > [Course/Project/Dataset] Configuration in the sidebar:

Course/Project/Dataset configuration menu location

In the configuration menu, toggle the button to enable scaling up to credit-based sizes:

Note: You can't turn off access to credit-based sizes through self-service. If you need this feature disabled, contact our support team.
