As of May 2025, 41 compute nodes have had more memory added, cannibalizing memory modules from nodes that have failed permanently. These 24-core nodes now have 256 GB of RAM each. You can access these nodes by including the directive mem=250gb
in your resource request line. These nodes work with the usual queues such as smp, normal or large.
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=24:mpiprocs=24:mem=250gb
Only use these nodes if you need more than 128 GB of RAM, but less than the 1TB available on the “fat nodes”.
Long-term data storage through DIRISA.
A number of computer languages are available on the cluster. The preferred way to set up your environment to use a specific toolset is to load the appropriate modules to activate the needed libraries and set up the paths for the correct binaries.
Commercial software involves dealing with licensing.
