Two new GPU nodes are now available. Each new node has 128 cores, 750 GB of memory, 8 L40S GPUs, and a 7 TB local scratch disk. The new GPU nodes are part of the gpu partition and no special job configuration is needed. Please see the updated hardware and SLURM guides for details.
To meet growing storage needs, Research Computing recently expanded the /group file system. The total replicated capacity is now 2.6PB.
Starting in 2025, the price for group storage will increase to $80/TB/year. However, because of the short notice, this new rate will apply only to new storage subscription payments made in 2025. All existing storage renewals processed in January 2025 will remain at the current rate of $60/TB/year.
RCC upgraded the cluster operating system to Rocky Linux 8 effect May 1, 2024. Please send questions/concerns to help-rcc@mcw.edu.
RCC is in the second phase of a plan to upgrade the cluster operating system to Rocky Linux 8. We have answered a number of great questions and fixed a number of issues since the upgrade. We have also seen several weeks of stability, and so have decided to end this phase earlier than planned. To that end, RCC will upgrade the remaining systems on May 1. Please send any questions/concerns to help-rcc@mcw.edu.
