Titan Computing Hub
Titan Computing Hub (TCH) offers high-performance computing to California State University of Fullerton to further the advancement of research, teaching and learning. Resources are provided by the National Research Platform
(NRP) via the Nautilus
hypercluster.
A suite of common packages and software are offered in managed JupyterHub instances provided by TCH. For additional image requests, please contact the TCH support team.
Students who would like to use this resource for coursework must contact their faculty or project advisor.
Be advised, data may be deleted at any time. Nautilus environments should not be used as long term storage solutions.
Hardware
TCH has proudly contributed 12 CPU nodes, 6 GPU nodes, and 3 storage nodes to the Nautilus hypercluster. The CPU nodes each contain 56 processing cores and 405.6GB of RAM. The GPU nodes each contain 64 processing cores, 16x NVIDIA L4 24GB accelerators, and 1.2TB of RAM. The storage nodes contain 1.3PB of usable storage.
Nautilus Control Plane
Nautilus resources are available to all, but TCH users will receive preferential scheduling on TCH contributed hardware nodes. They will also be able to use other CPUs and GPUs within the Nautilus hypercluster depending on the nature of their work.
Software
Nautilus uses Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestrator, to execute interactive or batch type workloads within containerized environments. TCH provides a managed JupyterHub instance with access to software images for many common use cases. TCH users will use their campus credentials to access the JupyterHub instance.
Network
Network connectivity on the CSU Fullerton campus is provided by Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California
(CENIC). All TCH nodes utilize a 10G network connection to the Science DMZ to isolate research-related traffic.
NRP Hub
The JupyterHub provided by National Research Platform (NRP) currently has no storage that is suitable for HIPAA , PID , FISMA , FERPA , or protected data of any kind. Users are not permitted to store such data on NRP machines.
By clicking the JupyterHub (Nautilus) button, you agree with the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
Environment is strictly monitored and users who do not adhere to AUP can be restricted from future use.
Users have perisistent storage but not guaranteed to be permanent and data can be deleted any time.
Violations of the AUP may result in loss of access to the NRP resources.
