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. When appropriate jobs are available from IceProd servers, average (peak) resource allocations of 1000 (3000) CPU cores and 150 (300) GPUs have been obtained.
A new compute environment was rolled out on HPCC in 2018 and we have not yet completed the process of adapting our local scripts to the new environment. The pledge represents a conservative estimate of resource allocation available to IceProd jobs of less than 4 hours duration once that process is complete.
