SURFsara's Cartesius Cluster: Overview
Cartesius is no longer available, as it has been fully decommissioned and replaced by SURF's Snellius Supercomputer. Snellius is the successor to Cartesius, the former national supercomputer of the Netherlands.
Operational since 2021, Snellius provides significantly more computational power, better scalability, and a modern architecture tailored for high-performance computing and AI workloads. It is also more energy-efficient and supports the latest tools and technologies.
Snellius is managed by SURF and serves as the primary HPC system for Dutch academic research.
