1. Preamble

There will be a major, multi-million dollar upgrade to NJIT's high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, scheculed to be on-line in February 2022.

This upgrade will include:

  • A significant increase in the number of public-access CPU nodes
  • A significant increase in the number of public-access GPU nodes
  • High-speed inteconnects (InfiniBand) to all new nodes
  • A parallel file system PFS with a capacity of at least a petabyte
  • Cluster management software
  • Support for the SLURM scheduler/resotce manager

The purpose of this form is to obtain information from researchers that will be used to determine the hardware specifications of this expansion.

By providing input, you will influence the final specifications for this expansion.
