CSRVM

To facilitate wide ranging research activities, some of the major services provided by the department include a Computer Science Research Virtual Machine cluster (CSRVM) which has the flexibility to create multi-core large scale VM's in a matter of minutes.

  • Hardware
    • Nodes: 9
      • Cores: 64
      • Ram: 512GB
    • Network: 10GB low latency SFP+ back-end network interconnecting each node
    • Storage: 91 terabytes of dedicated disk storage.

GPUVM

  • Nodes: 10
    • Cores: At least 40
    • Ram: At least 192GB
  • GPU's: Multiple Nvidia P40 and T4's
  • Storage: Dedicated CEPH shared file system

Secure Server Room

The Computer Science department has a secure, modern, climate-controlled server room. The room is equipped with numerous sensors, controls, and backup systems to ensure all servers are continuously operating at peak performance. In addition, there is a separate secure, climate-controlled workspace for graduate students to work directly with servers and equipment, if appropriate.

Third Cluster

In addition, Computer Science has a ten (10) node homogeneous cluster, dedicated to systems research. Each node consists of 48 Intel cores and 256 gigabytes of RAM. The nodes are interconnected to each other and a dedicated 73 terabytes of shared storage via a private 10GB switch.
