JASMIN
JASMIN is a globally unique data analysis facility, founded in 2011. It provides storage and compute facilities to enable data-intensive environmental science, exploring topics from climate change and oceanography to air pollution, earthquake deformation and wildlife populations. It is managed jointly by STFC Scientific Computing and the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA), part of STFC RAL Space.
JASMIN provides flexibility for a wide range of data-intensive analysis workflows, and offers a range of benefits:
- A batch computing cluster offering approximately 18,000 cores for a diverse set of user workloads
- Approximately 90PB of disk and high-performance flash storage for projects, user data and the CEDA archive
- Approximately 100PB of tape storage for long-term offline archive storage of data
- A diverse on-premise cloud for hosting web services for users
- A “Data transfer zone” offering very high performance 100Gbps connections between
the Internet and JASMIN’s high-performance storage
JASMIN is located within the STFC Data Centre at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
