IceCube   14 Up to 500 14
PINGU

The computing resources in the table are provided by the IIHE (ULB-VUB), i.e. by ULB and VUB together.
The 14 GPU cards are presently used for the production of MC samples for the collaboration. The jobs are launched centrally. From our side we cannot see whether the jobs run for IceCube, PINGU or Gen2.
We intend to also open access to CPU cores for the production of MC samples by the collaboration. This is now under development. Probably by next year a max of 500 cores could be made available. The number will increase gradually during 2016.
 
The person to contact for technical information is Samir, samir.amary@ulb.ac.be
