2017
2018
  CPU Cores GPU Cards CPU Cores GPU Cards
Pledged resources in the IceCube common cluster Up to 1000 14 Up to 1000 14  

 
The computing resources in the table are provided by the IIHE (ULB-VUB), i.e. by ULB and VUB together.
The 14 GPU cards 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 or Gen2.
The CPU cores are used for the production of MC samples by the collaboration. In the course of 2018 up to a max of 1000 cores may be made available.
