Available Resources and Tools

JUNIQ Cloud provides a variety of options and features to enhance your interactive computing experience, including access to quantum computing resources. Here's an overview of what you can expect:

1. Systems Available

JUNIQ Cloud connects you to several powerful systems:

1. HPC

  • JUPITER
  • JUWELS
  • JURECA
  • JUSUF
  • DEEP

For access to the HPC systems, please visit JuDoor.

2. Cloud

JSC-Cloud is accessible to everyone, providing flexible cloud resources without the need for an HPC account. For users utilizing JSC-Cloud, we offer several resource configurations, including:

  • 2GB RAM, 1 CPU for 7 days
  • 4GB RAM, 1 CPU for 2 days
  • 8GB RAM, 2 CPUs for 10 hours

Resource Availability

These flavors may change in the future and are dependent on the available resources.

With JSC-Cloud, each user enjoys 25GB of persistent storage, allowing you to keep your important work safe and accessible. This feature is available not only in the default JupyterLab versions but also when using custom Docker images. Whether you're developing in a standard environment or tailoring your setup with your own images, you can rest assured that your data is securely stored and easily retrievable.
