The new GPU nodes have been installed into our POC cluster and are currently running jobs. We installed the servers into our SLURM cluster to allow us to develop hands on experience in provisioning SLURM partitions with GPU resources, something …

High GPU utilization with no processes running
We noticed a while back that several of our GPU cards retained high utilization even though no processes were running on them.

New GPU cards
We have completed the upgrade to the GPU portion of the hex cluster:
– Installed new GPU004 server with two nVidia K40 cards.
– Two additional nVidia K40 cards added to GPU003.
This brings the number of GPU cards in …
Computational Chemistry publication
One of our top researchers, Professor Michelle Kuttel, recently made the cover of the Journal of Computational Chemistry. The computational work was performed on the UCT HPC cluster using our Supermicro GPU nodes.
The cover image depicts a highly-branched …
GPUs and GRES
Our current cluster, hex, runs Torque with MAUI as the scheduler. While MAUI is GPU aware it does not allow GPUs to be scheduled. In other words you can list the nodes with GPUs but you cannot submit a job …
SuperMicro Tesla M1060 GPU System
A big-bytes thank-you to SuperMicro for having delivered a GPU system for testing. The system delivered is a SuperMicro – Tesla M1060. OS choice was Scientific Linux 5.4 x86_64. The distribution choice was chosen based on our existing HPC …
