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 …
