New Mexico Tech High Performance Computing Documentation#
Welcome to the New Mexico Tech High Performance Computing (NMTHPC) documentation. This guide provides comprehensive information about accessing, using, and optimizing your work on our HPC cluster.
About NMTHPC#
The High-Performance Computing system at New Mexico Tech – NMTHPC – was established through a competitive National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation (NSF-MRI) award (#2320162) awarded in 2023: The award, MRI: Track 1 Acquisition of a High-Performance Computing System at New Mexico Tech, provides funding for both the HPC instrumentation framework and undergraduate participation in system administration.
The driving centerpiece of NMTHPC will be the collaborative, transdisciplinary research that will result from having exponentially more resources available to our faculty and students. Over the course of the three year award, key research challenges the HPC system will be used to address include Seismogenic Processes and Hazards, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Computational Materials Science, and Multiphysics Groundwater Transport, Characterization, and Mapping. NMTHPC aims to continually expand the computational capabilities to adapt to the ever growing needs and challenges of our local, state and national stakeholders. Long-term, the NMTHPC team also aims to leverage the HPC system to develop curriculum and certificate programs in research computing and HPC system administration.
System Overview#
The HPC system funded by the MRI is designed to meet the wide range of research computing needs across campus. Key features of the AMD-based system include three types of compute nodes (standard, high memory, GPU), a parallel file system, and fast internal communication.
(16) Standard Nodes (256 cores, 6 Gb RAM per core) (3) High-Memory Nodes (256 cores, 9 Gb RAM per core) (3) GPU Nodes (128 Cores, 6 Gb RAM per core, NVIDIA H100 GPUs w/ 16896 CUDA Cores) (1) Login Node (128 cores, 6 Gb RAM per core) (1) 373 Tb HDD Storage Server (1) 500 Tb Parallel File System
