Compute

Overview

Cedar(GP2) and Graham(GP3) are almost identical systems with some minor differences in the actual mix of large memory, small memory and GPU nodes.

Name	Description	Capacity	Status
CC-Cloud Resources Arbutus/west.cloud (GP1) east.cloud	OpenStack IAAS Cloud	7,640 cores	In production (integrated with west.cloud)
Cedar (GP2)	heterogeneous, general-purpose cluster Serial and small parallel jobs GPU and big memory nodes Small cloud partition	27,696 cores	In production
Graham (GP3)	heterogeneous, general-purpose cluster Serial and small parallel jobs GPU and big memory nodes Small cloud partition	33,376 cores	In production
GP4	heterogeneous, general-purpose cluster May have GPU's, large mem, etc.	Approx 40,000 cores	RFP closes in May, 2018
Niagara (LP)	homogeneous, large parallel cluster Designed for large parallel jobs > 1000 cores	~60,000 cores	Vendor negotiations

All systems have large, high-performance attached storage. See National Data Cyberinfrastructure for an overview; follow the links above for individual system for details.
