BlackDiamond is a high-performance computing cluster made possible by a gift from microchip manufacturer AMD. This cluster is built using AMD's 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor, which pushes the boundaries for x86 performance, efficiency, security features, and overall system throughput.
6 GPU nodes, each with:
Bluemoon is a 161-node, 8392-core, high-performance computing cluster modeled after national supercomputing centers. This cluster supports large-scale computation, low-latency networking for MPI workloads, large memory systems, and high-performance parallel filesystems.
DeepGreen is a massively parallel cluster deployed in Summer 2019 with 80 GPUs capable of over 8 petaflops of mixed-precision calculations based on the NVIDIA Tesla V100 architecture. Its hybrid design can expedite high-throughput artificial intelligence and machine learning workflows, and its extreme parallelism will forge new and transformative research pipelines.
