New AI/ML Nodes Available

RCD is excited to announce that we have added five new powerful compute nodes to the Palmetto 2 cluster. The hardware in the new nodes is optimized for supporting large Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workflows.

Each node has the following hardware specifications:

  • Model: Dell PowerEdge XE9680
  • CPU: 2x Intel Xeon Platinum 8470
  • Memory: 1 TB
  • Networking:
    • 8x NDR (3.2Tbit aggregate) Internode Communication
    • 200Gbit NDR200 Infiniband for Storage
    • 100Gb Ethernet
  • GPU: 8x NVIDIA Tesla H100 80G

These are available in the cluster for immediate use by Clemson users. We encourage you to make the most of these new resources!
