Statistics
Currently, Palmetto is comprised of 1786 compute nodes (totaling 34916 CPU cores), and features:
- 1786 compute nodes, totaling 34916 cores
- over 850 nodes are equipped with 2x NVIDIA Tesla GPUs (K20, K40, P100, V100 and A100)
- 15 large-memory nodes with 0.75 TB - 1.5 TB of memory)
- 100 GB home directory space for each user
- 2.2 PB of scratch storage space
- 10 and 25 Gbps Ethernet, and 56 and 100 Gbps Infiniband networks
- benchmarked at 3.0 PFlops
- the cluster is 100% battery-backed
Condominium Model
Palmetto cluster operates in a condominium model which allows faculty to purchase immediate access to compute nodes on the cluster. More information can be found in the Owner's Guide.
