New Grace Hopper GPU resource available for Medium allocations

_{20 October 2025}

A new high-performance GPU resource is now accessible on our Dardel resource, providing 20,000 GPU hours per month. Eight additional nodes have been purchased, each equipped with four NVIDIA Grace Hopper (H100) GPUs and four NVIDIA Grace ARM CPUs, totalling 32 Grace Hopper Superchips.

This state-of-the-art platform combines the performance of the Hopper GPU with the energy-efficient Grace ARM CPU, designed for demanding AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

The Grace Hopper resource is exclusively available to projects under the Medium compute category, with priority given to users running codes not currently supported on Dardel’s AMD GPUs. If there is a need to run unique or specialised software, this new system offers a significant opportunity for improved performance.

Users with an existing Medium project on Dardel with a need to use dardel-GH resource should submit a continuation of their existing Medium project. A continuation can be submitted even if a user’s current project is not finished.

To apply for a Medium allocation, please go to SUPR.
