RRA Hardware

Advanced computing resources at the University of South Florida are administered by Research Computing (RC). RC hosts the RRA (Restricted Research Access) cluster computer which currently consists of approximately 77 nodes with over 1,600 processor cores running Red Hat Enterprise Linux v7. The cluster is built on the condominium model with 16TB of memory shared across the nodes in various configurations. Additionally, there are 120 GPUs available. The nodes utilize either 100GB Omnipath or 100GB Infiniband for a computational interconnect. There is a 350TB encrypted BeeGFS parallel file system used to support high speed and I/O intensive computations, as well as for long-term storage. RC also provides and supports more than 120 scientific software packages for use on a variety of platforms. Remote system and file access is available from essentially anywhere. RC staff members are available to facilitate use of the cluster, as well as provide direct assistance with research projects that require high-performance computing or advanced visualization and analysis of data. User education and training sessions are also provided upon request.
