One of the clusters at the University is the AM Cluster
This HPC cluster is a collection of many separate servers (computers), called nodes, which are connected via a fast interconnect.
There may be different types of nodes for different types of tasks. The HPC cluster listed on this wiki has
a headnode or login node, where users log in
This cluster is based on the Slurm scheduler running on Ubuntu.
| Node name | OS | Cores | Memory | CPU | purchase date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| amhead | Ubuntu 20.04 | 16 cores (HT 32) | 96 Gb | Xeon CPU Silver 4216 @ 2.10GHz | 16 March 2020 |
| amnode01-08 | Ubuntu 20.04 | 32 cores (HT 64) | 192 Gb | Xeon CPU Silver 4216 @ 2.10GHz | 16 March 2020 |
The nodes are connected by InfiniBand and the cluster is located in “het SeinHuis”.
You can connect to the headnode : amhead.ewi.utwente.nl
We now use the new Slurm scheduler instead of searching for a free node and run our calculations
