HPC Architecture
The Montana Tech HPC (oredigger cluster) contains 1 management node, 26 compute nodes, and a total of 91 TB NFS storage systems. There is an additional computing server (copper). Twenty-two compute nodes contain two 8-core Intel Xeon 2.2 GHz Processors (E5-2660) and either 64 or 128 GB of memory. Hyperthreading is enabled, so 704 threads can run simultaneously on just the XEON CPUs. The remaining four nodes feature the Intel 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Processors (48 CPU Cores and 192 GB Ram per node). Internally, a 40 Gbps InfiniBand (IB) network interconnects the nodes and the storage system. The system has a theoretical peak performance of 14.2 TFLOPS.
The operating system is Rocky Linux 8.6 and Warewulf is used to maintain and provision the compute nodes (stateless).
