Main-campus HPC (SciClone)
The main-campus HPC resources (collectively known as "sciclone") consist of a series a different sub-clusters, each of which has a set of hardware resources tied to it. There are two types of HPC resources in general, those used for multi-node parallel calculations and those best suited for GPU/CPU serial, shared-memory applications within one or, at most, a few nodes. All clusters have a maximum walltime of 72 hrs for jobs, excluding kuro which has a maximum of 48 hrs.
In the tables below, the front-end/login server for the cluster is listed first, followed by the nodes available from the cluster.
