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. The core hardware consists of nine (9) 64 core host nodes with 512GB of RAM each. A 10GB low latency SFP+ back-end network interconnecting each node to 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.
