SSCC Slurm Cluster Expansion The new servers purchased through the SSCC’s Research Core Revitalization Program grant have been added to the Slurm cluster. The Slurm cluster now has: Over 5000 total cores Servers with 128 cores Servers with 1024GB of memory Servers with powerful A100 GPUs Our Slurm cluster has become the place to run big research computing jobs.
