The Michigan State IceCube group provides the collaboration access to several large computing clusters maintained and administered by the Michigan State High Performance Computing Cluster in the Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research. The HPCC includes more 21,716 computing cores and 478 GPUs (mix of Tesla V100, K80, and K20). The IceCube group has purchased 750 cores and 8 GPUs in the cluster.

Cluster scheduling policy allows opportunistic use of all compute resources by campus users with job lengths <4 hours. Jobs making use of specialized resources, such as GPUs, have priority over all other jobs queued for those nodes. Computing resources listed reflect the average levels made available for collaboration distributed processing over the past 60 days. Note that actual throughput is lower due to central processing system failure to claim available resources (675 CPUs, 15 GPUs) and job eviction due to inaccurate advertised job run time requirements (110 CPUs, 25 GPUs).
