Standard compute node as found in the Comet HPC facility. This has the same hardware specification as the Standard.b node type, but is connected to the rest of the facility using low-latency, high-speed 200gbit/sec Infiniband.
Each of these nodes are on a non-blocking network, suitable for large parallel MPI jobs utilising all 1024 cores at once without contention.
All registered users of the Comet facility may access any of the hours of compute available in the unfunded queues, as listed below. However, your jobs may need to wait longer to run due to the number of resources available. Consider building in costing for your research activity or project for dedicated HPC resources to enable access to the larger pool of resources dedicated for funded queues.
The maximum hours of CPU compute available across all users of unfunded queues is:
(4 Nodes) x (2 Processors) x (128 Cores) x (730 Hours/Month) x (25%) = 186880.0 Compute Hours/Month
The maximum hours of CPU compute available across all users of funded queues is:
(4 Nodes) x (2 Processors) x (128 Cores) x (730 Hours/Month) x (75%) = 560640.0 Compute Hours/Month
You can use the for the Comet facility to model the potential contributions towards accessing these resources.
