Resources available for ABLeS participants |
ABLes computational resources are allocated to each project quarterly and additional resources can be requested by each project's bioinformatics lead.
{% include callout.html type="note" content="Additional resources can be requested using this form." %}
ABLeS includes 10 million service units (SUs) of compute capacity on Setonix and flexible storage on the fast S3 based Acacia storage system. These SUs can be utilised across CPU and GPU nodes.
ABLeS encompasses 16 million SUs of compute capacity and 500 TB of storage available per annum on the Gadi supercomputer at the NCI. These SUs can be utilised to run jobs on different nodes of GADI that are equipped with either CPUs or GPUs.
Details on:
ABLeS projects are supported by NCI, Pawsey and ABLeS specialists to install, develop, optimise and deploy tools and workflows.

There is a wide range of centrally installed software for Setonix users, including popular bioinformatics tools. More information about software on Setonix.
Setonix users can also install their choice of software on the /software partition. We also encourage usage of containers with Singularity. Users are able to download any containers they like!
Popular bioinformatics reference datasets are available on Pawsey. Additional reference sets can be requested via [email protected]
Centrally supported software available through NCI can be viewed here.
Users at NCI also have access to the Australian BioCommons Tools and Workflows project, in project allocation if89. This is a repository of popular tools, containers and workflows that can be used by anyone in the NCI system.
Anyone from an NCI project is also invited to contribute to if89, and add more software installations that can be shared with others.
Details are available here.
