XDG Nodes¶
We have 2 Dell PowerEdge XE8640 nodes with Nvidia Hopper H100 80GB cards for GPU jobs.
Accessing the XDG nodes
The XDG nodes are restricted to users within the Science and Engineering (S&E) faculty only.
GPU high memory
The XDG nodes have more RAM available than standard GPU nodes, supporting
up to 240G RAM per GPU (12 cores). Authorised users may use the
-l gpuhighmem submission with up to 20G per core (-l h_vmem=20G) to
request larger amounts of RAM on these nodes.
