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

  • Lochness cluster
  • Kong cluster
  • Stheno cluster
  • Non-cluster machines: Antigua, Baozi, Cnrdp, Gorgon, Icl1, Inti, Jimmy, Louise, Phi, Silo100, Solardb, Thelma
