A ''general-purpose'' cluster is designed to support a wide variety of types of jobs, and is composed of a mixture of different nodes. We broadly classify the nodes as: | |||
* ''base'' nodes, containing typically about 4GB of memory per core; | |||
* ''large-memory'' nodes, containing typically more than 8GB memory per core; | |||
* ''GPU'' nodes, which contain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit graphic processing units]. | |||
The ''large parallel'' cluster [[Niagara]] is designed to support multi-node parallel jobs requiring more than 1000 CPU cores, although jobs as small as a single node are also supported there. Niagara is composed of nodes of a uniform design, with an interconnect optimized for large jobs. | |||
All clusters have large, high-performance storage attached. For details about storage, memory, CPU model and count, GPU model and count, and the number of nodes at each site, please see the individual cluster pages linked under "Resources" at left. | |||
