Research Computing currently maintains the following resources for calculations requiring large amounts of physical memory.
| Host | Architecture | Vendor | Processor | Frequency | Cores | Memory(GB) | SLURM Memory (mb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | amd64 | AMD | 6174 | 2.2 | 48 | 496 | 508000 |
| 2 | amd64 | Intel | E5-4607 | 2.2 | 24 | 770 | 792000 |
| 3 | amd64 | Intel | E7-8850 | 2.0 | 80 | 1009 (1TB) | 1033728 |
The big memory machines are available only via the HiPerGator "bigmem" partition. To submit jobs to this partition you will need to add the following directive to your job submission script.
#SBATCH --partition=bigmem
Please also be aware that servers with hundreds of gigabytes of RAM are very expensive. If you submit a job to the bigmem partition and your group does not have an NCU allocation sufficient to accommodate the resource request, your job will be rejected.
