  CPU Cores GPU Cards CPU Cores GPU Cards
IceCube   14 Up to 1000 14
PINGU        
Gen2        

 
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.
The CPU cores are used for the production of MC samples by the collaboration. In the course of 2017 up to a max of 1000 cores might be made available.
 
The person to contact for technical information is Samir, samir.amary@ulb.ac.be
