The free trial program of SQUID will be finished at the end of July, 2021 and we are going to move to the official operation of SQUID for a fee from August 2021.
SQUID(Supercomputer for Quest to Unsolved Interdisciplinary Datascience) starts operation on May 6, 2021. This system is composed of different types of 3 clusters, General purpose CPU nodes, GPU nodes, Vector nodes. Total Peak performance is 16.591 PFLOPS.
As a part of the operating test, we provide SQUID computing services to the current users and the possible future users without imposing a service charge for the first four months from May Middle, 2021, until July. If you are not satisfied with computing resources in your laboratory, you just want to use cutting-edge accelerators and brand-new processors, please try to use our new over-petascale universal supercomputing system named SQUID. Of course, also in the case you have no experience of using any supercomputer systems, don't hesitate to try.

SQUID Free trial program
| Period | Middle May 2021 – July 20 2021(scheduled) |
|---|---|
| Trial Target | All of computing nodes on SQUID (1598 nodes) - Waiting time is there due to shared use. - The upper limit of simultaneous execution and elapse time is set. Storage (HDD: 20.0 PB) - 5TB per 1 group. - In the case that data to be migrated is more than 5.0TB, we set the upper limit and let you know it. Storage (SSD: 1.2 PB) |
| Quota | None |
| Remarks |
- For moving onto service charged operation of SQUID, this plan may be subject to change. - As to account and data after the SQUID free trial program is finished, we will announce. - We will ask for a questionnaire for you during the Free Trial program. Please cooperate with our survey. |
