Dr Bruce Merry from Computer Science has been testing our new GPU server. The system has 16 CPU cores, 64GB RAM and 4 x Tesla 2090M Nvidia cards with 512 cores and 6GB RAM each. Initial testing looks promising, the cards are fast, very fast. However disk I/O as anticipated is a problem. We're currently looking at various options to resolve this.
We've also installed a test version of Ganglia. There's a link to it from the dashboard, although the output of this system is subject to change as we beat it into shape.
