Computing Resources
CP3 members have access to the
Manneback UCLouvain cluster. This cluster is made of two parts:
- The CP3 ingrid cluster described below, providing 4144 computing cores with high priority to CP3
- The UCLouvain cluster, shared with other UCLouvain researchers, providing 1040 computing cores
If you are looking for instructions to access the infrastructure, please read
this (CP3 authentication needed).

Performance
- Intel Xeon Silver 4116@2.1GHz, 48 cores - 530 x 19 WNs
- Intel Xeon Silver 4214@2.2GHz, 48 cores - 572 x 16 WNs
- AMD EPYC 7452@2.35GHz, 128 corers - 1750 x 12 WNs
Average HEP-SPEC06 score per core = (530*19 + 572*16 + 1750*12)/(48*19 + 48*16 + 128*12) = 12.5

Other resources
CP3 members also have access to the computer clusters funded by CECI. A detailed listing of the CECI computing resources can be found here. These clusters are located across universities of the French Community of Belgium (Communauté française de Belgique) and amount for a total of 8300 computing cores.
