Snellius is a cluster of heterogeneous nodes built by Lenovo, containing predominantly AMD technology, with capabilities for high performance computing (parallel, symmetric multiprocessing), data-processing, and machine learning.

Deze accelerators combineren de rekenkracht van grafische kaarten (GPU’s) met die van CPU’s. Daarnaast beschikt Snellius over ‘fat nodes’ met meer geheugenruimte (1 TB) en ‘high-memory nodes’ (4 TB en 8 TB geheugenruimte). Tools en libraries. Als onderzoeker kun je gebruik maken van een grote verzameling tools, compilers en ...

Willebrord Snellius [1] [2] (born Willebrord Snel van Royen) [3] (13 June 1580 [4] – 30 October 1626) was a Dutch astronomer and mathematician, commonly known as Snell. His name is usually associated with the law of refraction of light known as Snell's law .

Snellius is the Dutch National supercomputer, operated by SURF. It was installed in September 2021 by Lenovo and since has been expanded in two phases with more compute nodes and storage. The last expansion of the system was put in production in July 2024 and added 88 nodes with NVIDIA H100 GPUs.

On Thursday 16 September 2021, Queen Máxima performed the official opening of the new national supercomputer Snellius. CWI researchers have been computing on the national supercomputer since 1984: from testing security keys to simulating gas and liquid flows and electrical discharges.

Oct 30, 2011 · Willebrord Snell was a Dutch mathematician who is best known for the law of refraction, a basis of modern geometric optics; but this only become known after his death when Huygens published it. Willebrord Snell's name appears as Snel or Snel van Royen.

Oct 6, 2024 · Dutch applied mathematician and astronomer who founded the modern science of geodesy, by pioneering the technique of triangulation. Developed an improved method for determining the value of π π (pi) using polygons. Known today for rediscovering the Snell-Descartes Law in 1621 1621, governing the refraction of light. He did not publish it himself.

As a researcher, you can make use of a large collection of tools, compilers and libraries. Are you doing research or experiments in the field of machine learning, e.g. neural networks? The libraries and tools on Snellius make it a lot easier.

Met de bibliotheken en tools op Snellius wordt het een stuk makkelijker. Je krijgt standaard 200 gigabyte aan schijfruimte voor je eigen bestanden (home file system). Hiervan maken we dagelijks een back-up. Je kan ook gebruik maken van een tijdelijke opslagcapaciteit van 8 …

Sep 17, 2021 · It performs 14 billion calculations per second: the new national supercomputer Snellius. With the new supercomputer, Dutch researchers will be able to tackle even more scientific challenges, for example in the field of climate change or corona research.
