System software, means of developing parallel programs

Supercomputer software supports the development of parallel programs and perform tasks in a distributed environment.
The operating system for computing environments are Linux distributions. The main application for parallel programming tasks for the MPI and Infiniband protocol is MVAPICH, OPENMPI packages. Tools for developing system and application software include Compilers of the programming languages C, C++, FORTRAN. Support the development and execution of GPU software code using CUDA and Open CL technologies.
Users at will can get any environment and computing tools based on open source and free licenses. The use of commercial software packages and the licensing procedure is considered individually for each case.

Procedure for access and pricing of services

Payment for the provision of services is estimated by the results of the launch of the tasks. It consists of payment 0.36 rubles. for the processor / hour and settings and support of specialized software.
Computing resources may be provided for FREE over a specified period of time for cases of complex configurations or the presence of an uncertainty factor in assessing the effectiveness of computing or using resources and services.

To obtain remote access to computing resources, the RSCCKP is required

• Send an application in an arbitrary form, describing the required calculation environment, number of processor elements, disk space and intended remote access traffic. To work in close proximity to computing plants, it is possible to rent a specialized class-containing room, where additional services for printing documents, using the projector can be obtained.
• To issue a contract for the use of the resources of the RSCCP (the contract template can be sent after processing your application for your e-mail address specified by you).
• Visit the RSCC KP, located at the address. Minsk, st. Surganova 6, to receive the original of the concluded contract and, if necessary, by carriers with information on the access procedure.

However, all the above actions can be agreed and carried in the manner in which any organizations and legal entities can be agreed.

If you have any questions about the procedure for accessing or using the resources of the RSCC KP, contact us by phone +375 (17) 272-51-29, +375 (17) 378-20-69.
