A CFI proposal by Profs. Stastna, Lamb, and Waite resulted in acquisition of new servers in 2017. Note that this page is incomplete and is being developed as these machines are deployed.

Hostnames (make/model)

  • bow.math.private.uwaterloo.ca (SGI C2112-GP2)
  • minnewanka.math.private.uwaterloo.ca (SGI C1104-GP2)
  • waterton.math.private.uwaterloo.ca (SGI C1104-GP2)

Hardware

Each machine has:

  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2690v4 (Broadwell) CPUs, 2.6 GHz, 14 core
  • 128 GB RAM
  • 40 gigabit private network link for faster MPI
  • 1 gigabit public network link (except bow has 10 gigabit)

Operating System Software

  • CentOS 7.4
  • SGI Foundation 2.16
  • SGI Accelerate 1.14
  • SGI Performance Suite 1.14 with accelerated MPI

Application Software, Development Environment

  • ...

System Administration

  • MFCF administers these machines. Users do not have root access.
  • Home directories are common with the previous machines via NFS
  • System management is done by SaltStack software, unlike hood and thelon which are managed using MFCF's XHier
    • this means things will be different
    • applications are not under the /software directory anymore
    • default PATH does not have everything in it
      • use modules
