Resources and Hardware

This page content is dedicated to the various hardware items used for high performance research owned and/or operated by Georgia Tech.

Arm A64FX Cluster

Arm hardware has long been used in the mobile space due to power-efficient designs, but the last few years have also seen a rise in high-performance Arm processors. The Fujitsu-designed A64FX processor is a prime example of this next generation of Arm for HPC - each node includes an SSD, HDR InfiniBand, a 48 core A64FX processor, and 32 GB of on-board High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) with up to 1 TB of main memory bandwidth. Additionally, the processor supports Arm's new Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), a compiler-supported vector architecture that supports 512 bit wide instructions.

A team from Georgia Tech is now part of the new supercomputing system known as Frontera. Frontera supported the acquisition and deployment of the new supercomputer to Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and funded by a $60 million award from the National Science Foundation. 

Frontera is the fastest at any U.S. university, among the most powerful in the world, and allows the nation’s academic researchers to make important discoveries in all fields of science, from astrophysics to zoology.

NVAIL

Georgia Tech is now the recipient of a NVIDIA Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab (NVAIL) grant as part of the NVAIL program focusing on graph analytics on graphics processing units (GPUs).
