High Performance Computing

The HPC (AnantGanak) consists of 31 nodes with all CPU cores. The system is connected to the Intel Omnipath infiniband and has 100 TB storage with a parallel file system. The compute nodes have 20 cores per socket and 2 sockets per node and with the following basic info. 1 Master node (40 cores, 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processor; with 384 GB RAM) 31 Compute nodes (40 cores each, 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processor; with 192 GB RAM/node). The total theoretical TeraFlops for this cluster are 90TF. The machines are of Fujitsu make.  
These machines are housed in the smart-rack with precision cooling. The DGX box of nVIDIA for AI/ML kind of workloads is also integrated into the smart rack.

There are 2 DGX servers. DGX-V100 and DGX -A100 integrated into cluster.  DGX -A100 is part of Space Data Science Lab.

• To gain access to the HPC (High-Performance Computing) system, new users must initiate their request by contacting the Faculty in Charge (FIC) of HPC at hpcfic@iitdh.ac.in.
• In their email, users should provide a comprehensive justification for their HPC access needs, ensuring to include their supervisor in the communication.
• Following the initial request, FIC HPC will coordinate with the supervisor to obtain recommendations regarding the HPC account. Once supervisor recommendations are received and approved, FIC HPC will provide users with a Google link to fill in the necessary details for HPC access.
• Users must complete the provided form accurately and inform FIC HPC upon completion. Subsequently, FIC HPC will generate the required credentials for accessing the HPC resources.
• The typical processing time for new account requests is approximately two working days, during which users can expect to receive their account credentials.
• For any further inquiries or assistance regarding HPC access, users can rely on FIC HPC for guidance and support throughout the process.
