1. Preamble
This assessment gathers information for inclusion in an NJIT proposal to NSF 21-528 Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) Program Area 4, "Campus Computing and the Computing Continuum".
The proposal will seek funding for public-access graphics processor unit (GPU) nodes. If funded, these nodes will be part of the Lochness.njit.edu cluster. Program Area 4 supports awards up to $400,000 for up to two years.
By participating, you will be providing data necessary for this proposal.
Defs
In this assessment, IST-managed high performance computing (HPC) resources refers to :
- Lochness cluster
- Kong cluster
- Stheno cluster
- Non-cluster machines: Antigua, Baozi, Cnrdp, Gorgon, Icl1, Inti, Jimmy, Louise, Phi, Silo100, Solardb, Thelma
