 ====Access====
-Access to the GPU nodes is by PI application only through the CHPC [[https://users.chpc.ac.za/helpdesk/|Helpdesk]].
+Principle Investigators apply for GPU access for their Research Programme members through the CHPC [[https://users.chpc.ac.za/helpdesk/|Helpdesk]].  RP members may not apply directly. E-mailed applications will not be considered.

+As usual, replace ''PRJT1234'' with your group's project name, ''your.email@address'' with your email address, and ''USERNAME'' with your cluster user name.
+====GPU Memory====
+Most of the V100 GPUs only have 16GiB of memory.  Two nodes each have three V100s with 32GiB of RAM.  To access these it is necessary to specify the exact node:
+  #PBS -l select=1:host=gpu2005:ncpus=9:ngpus=1
+or
+  #PBS -l select=1:host=gpu2006:ncpus=9:ngpus=1
+> Note that asking for a specific node is likely to lead to longer queue times as your job has to wait until that node becomes available.
