Hardware
Workstations
The EML supports ten public workstations composed of Apple iMac machines. These permit one user at the console, and many simultaneous remote logins. The operating system for the Apple iMac is OSX and a multi-user, multi-tasking system. We do not limit the number of simultaneous logins, which can include one user at the console, and multiple concurrent remote logins and file transfers.
Servers
The EML supports ten linux compute servers. The compute servers processing units vary from 8-80 and the memory on each vary from 6 GB to 754 GB. A complete list is available at our Grafana dashboards which are only available to EML users. The operating system for the compute servers is Ubuntu.
Computing Cluster
The EML also has a high performance computing cluster, containing twelve nodes (eight nodes containing 32 CPU cores, four nodes containing 56 CPU cores each, and four nodes containing ) available for compute jobs. Four nodes have 264 GB dedicated RAM, four nodes have 132 GB dedicated RAM, and four nodes have 768 GB dedicated RAM. It is managed by the SLURM queueing software. Slurm provides a standard batch queueing system through which users submit jobs to the cluster. Jobs are typically submitted to Slurm via a user's shell script which executes one's application code. Users may also query the cluster to see job status. All software running on EML Linux machines and compute servers are also available on the cluster. Users can also compile programs on any EML Linux machine and then run that program on the cluster.
GPU
The EML provides a GPU (an Nvidia A40 with 46 GB GPU memory), with associated software (CUDA, CuDNN, Tensorflow, Pytorch), available through the 'gpu' partition on the cluster.
Condo Node at Savio
EML users may access the condo node at Savio, the high-performance computational cluster managed by the Berkeley Research Computing (BRC) program. This allows EML users to run jobs with priority access to 2 nodes. They are also entitled to use the extra resource available on the Savio cluster through a low priority QoS. More information is available at the Savio website.
Printers
There are two network printers are available in the public lab (616 Evans).
