HPC for Vienna BioCenter & ÖAW

CLIP - Cloud Infrastructure Platform

Shared high-performance computing for researchers at the institutes of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP).

3,456 CPU cores in C3 nodes
112 GPUs (64 B200, 48 A100)
8 TB memory per M3 node
1 PB BeeGFS storage
800 GB/s storage throughput
400 Gbit/s RoCEv2 network

CLIP lets you run research computing that outgrows your workstation: scheduled CPU and GPU jobs, browser-based notebooks and desktops on cluster resources, and grid computing for international physics collaborations. It serves researchers across many disciplines at all institutes of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and, at the Vienna BioCenter, at IMP, IMBA, and GMI.

Where CLIP fits

Start on your workstation to develop and test. Move to CLIP when you need shared computing capacity, scheduled jobs, or supported scientific applications. If your project needs national-scale resources, we can point you toward MUSICA onboarding and the access process of Austrian Scientific Computing (ASC).

  • Your workstation: develop, explore, and run small tests locally.
  • CLIP and CBE: shared computing capacity for larger or repeated research workloads, scheduled CPU or GPU jobs, and supported interactive applications.
  • MUSICA: national-scale resources, operated by ASC, when your project’s needs call for an ASC allocation.
